A new report from the Council of Graduate Schools and Educational Testing Service indicates that enrollment in U.S. graduate programs is shifting - declining for international students and increasing for domestic minority students. Representation by domestic cultural minority groups reached 24.1% for first-time enrollees. Continuing a three year decline, international first-time graduate school enrollment dropped by 1.3%. One area that has been popular with international students is business schools and the interest there has dropped by 13.7% in 2019.
These figures reflect a key educational resource - the mix of those who enroll in graduate education. Both domestic minority and international students are a critical talent resource as well as represent an opportunity for cultural exposure to each other and to other predominantly white domestic students. Managing the mix is increasingly recognized as an important institutional responsibility.
