A recent survey by the Institute of International Education found that 88 percent of colleges expect international enrollment to decrease in the coming year. Of students already enrolled, colleges reported that 92 percent of their current international students likely will remain in the U.S. for fall classes. With approximately 5,400 enrolled international students and a number of others who are in internships and work programs, the University has the 12th-highest number of international students in the country among doctorate-granting institutions. Powell said international students face numerous issues related to COVID-19, and UT Dallas has been developing solutions to counter those challenges.
