Number of college students enrolled only in distance education U.S. 2021, by location

In the fall of 2021, about 95,715 students who were enrolled exclusively in distance education courses in postsecondary institutions were located outside of the United States. This is compared to 3.85 million students who were located in the same state as the institution, but enrolled in exclusively distance education courses. This high level of enrollment in distance learning courses is due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

在2021年秋季，大约95,715名仅在学校提供的远程教育课程中注册的学生位于美国境外。与此相比，有385万名学生位于与学校同一州内，但他们仅注册了远程教育课程。这种远程学习课程的极高注册率归因于COVID-19大流行的影响。
