IIE Open Doors

Since its founding in 1919, the Institute of International Education (IIE) has conducted an annual census of international students in the United States. For the first 30 years, IIE and the Committee on Friendly Relations Among Foreign Students carried out this effort jointly. IIE’s first independent publication of the results of the annual census was titled Education for One World, and it reported on data for the 1948/49 academic year. It was renamed the Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange in 1954/55, and in 1972 began receiving support from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Information Agency (USIA), now part of the U.S. Department of State. Open Doors has long been regarded as the comprehensive information resource on international students and scholars in the United States and on U.S. students studying abroad.<br><br>Surveys include: <br>International Student CensusUS Study Abroad SurveyInternational Scholars SurveyIntensive English Program Survey
