China to America Student Flow Continues to Grow

China to America Student Flow Continues to Grow: This fall, at least 10 percent of the University of Washington’s incoming freshman class of 6,000 is expected to come from China, a figure that mirrors this year’s enrollment and one that has grown steadily over the years.

At Kent State University, Chinese undergraduate enrollment soared from 222 in fall 2009 to 548 this spring. DePaul University saw its Chinese undergraduate enrollment increase six-fold in a four-year period, from 91 in 2007 to 545 in fall 2011. At Iowa State University, communications professor Jay Newell’s advertising principles class of more than 200 students has such a large number of Chinese students that his PowerPoint presentations are in both English and Chinese.
