🌎 AMERICANS ARE LOOKING BEYOND AMERICA FOR COLLEGE
For decades, “study abroad” usually meant spending a semester overseas.
That’s changing.
🇺🇸 More Americans are now considering something much bigger:
Getting their entire degree abroad.
According to the Institute of International Education (IIE), more than 90,000 Americans were enrolled in full-degree programs overseas in 2025.
And here’s the striking part:
🎓 67% were undergraduates.
A decade ago, undergraduates represented just 35%.
Why are American students looking overseas?
💰 Lower tuition in many countries
🎓 Alternative pathways to prestigious universities
🌎 International exposure
🧠 Personal growth and independence
💼 Global career opportunities
✈️ The experience of actually living in another country
And the destinations are expanding.
🇬🇧 UK
🇪🇸 Spain
🇮🇹 Italy
🇮🇪 Ireland
🇯🇵 Japan
🇩🇪 Germany
🇫🇷 France
🇲🇽 Mexico
🇨🇦 Canada
…and many more.
Meanwhile, traditional study-abroad participation is also growing.
298,180 U.S. students studied abroad for academic credit in 2023/24 — up 6% from the previous year.
The message is clear:
International education is no longer just an add-on to an American college experience.
For a growing number of students, the international experience IS the college experience.
