The number of foreign students enrolling in U.S. graduate schools this fall has jumped by 12%, according to a new survey by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS). The rise indicates an accelerating recovery for international graduate enrollments, which posted a 1% increase last year after declining for 3 years. Enrollments from India this year leapt 32%; enrollments from China jumped 20%. U.S. academic officials, attribute the increase to streamlined visa procedures by the government and increased outreach by U.S. institutions. "This encouraging trend will continue," predicts CGS president Debra Stewart.
