International Enrollment Continues to Rise

There are currently just over 1,800 international students on campus, representing 100 different countries from around the globe. A new report released on Nov. 17 shows that while WMU’s increasing enrollment for international students is a national trend.

This fall, there was a 9.8% increase in international enrollment at WMU. This included a 60% increase in enrollment of students from India and a 44% increase of students from Brazil.

In September, the University welcomed scores of new students: 101 from India (271 total), 49 from Saudi Arabia (456 total), 29 from Brazil (95 total) and 26 from Iraq (86 total). These increases are bolstered by growth in the University's Fulbright student population, which currently stands at 38 Fulbright Fellows in 13 academic programs who represent more than 27 countries.
