Major news outlets have been covering the international education data and trends. A story by the
Associated Press has been running in news outlets across the country, including the
Washington Post, and we have seen feature articles in the
Wall Street Journal,
The Boston Globe,
US News and World Report,
PoliticoPro, and
Buzzfeed, to name just a few. NPR interviewed IIE President Allan Goodman for a show that aired this week on
NPR’s All Things Considered, and a separate broadcast on NRP affiliate

The Atlantic highlighted the new trends in their special feature on The Globalization of American Higher Education. There were in-depth articles in the higher education press:

We are also seeing stories around the world, with a special emphasis on the growth in the number of students from India, in the
