US universities enrolling a new wave of Chinese undergraduates, according to a report. While India
was, for eight years on end, the leading country of origin for international students, China is rapidly
catching up, spending 98,510 last year, which is a 21 percent increase. In China, the shift has been quite
sharp. Last year, China sent 26,275 undergraduates and 57,451 graduate students to the US-compared
with 8,034 undergraduates and 50,976 graduate students five years earlier.
Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice president of the Institute of International Education, said the growing
share of undergraduates would change the face of the Chinese students'presence in the US. "It used to
be that they were all in the graduate science and computer departments, but now, with the one-child
policy, more and more Chinese parents are taking their considerable wealth and investing it in that one
child getting an Amercian college education," she said. "There's a book getting huge play in China right
now explaining liberal arts (人文) education." The book, A Ture Liberal Arts Education, by three
Chinese undergraduates in American universities, describes the education available at small liberal arts
colleges and the concept of liberal arts, both relatively unknown in China.
" There's growing disposable (支配) income in China, and not enough good universities to meet the
demand, "Leventhal at the University of Cincinnati said. "And in China, especially, studying in the United
States makes a great difference, because when students get home, they speaking English. "
Although the report tracks only the 2008-09 mumbers, a smaller survey by the institute last month
found that over all, the increase in international students seems to be continuing, with China remaining
strong. Of all the unversities surveyed this fall, 60 percent reported an increase in Chinese college
students, and only 11 percent a decline.
