 50 Best U.S. Colleges For International Students

Last year some 1 million students came from foreign countries to study in the U.S., making it the global powerhouse in higher education. It’s not hard to see why. American colleges and universities have minted scores of billionaires, Nobel Prize winners, game-changing entrepreneurs and celebrated leaders in politics, the arts, science, business and more. The global brand value of institutions such as Stanford, Harvard and MIT rivals that of Apple, Google and Microsoft.

With the numbers of international students at U.S. colleges and universities skyrocketing – last year saw the highest rate of growth in 35 years, according to the Institute of International Education (IIE) – we decided to look at what schools are best for this exploding demographic.  This the heart of this inaugural FORBES college ranking, especially created for foreign students and their families, the only one of its kind.

We rate four-year private and public schools based on the metrics that matter most to a global audience: Is the school a top college in the U.S.? How many international students are on campus, is that number going up and are they graduating on time? Finally, does the school offer a best-in-class education in the most popular majors for international students, specifically STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) as well as business and entrepreneurship.
The Top 10
Known as the original incubator of entrepreneurial studies, Babson College is the No. 1 Best U.S. College for International Students, followed by Bryn Mawr College and Claremont McKenna College. The first Ivy League school is Columbia University (No. 4), followed by Princeton University (No. 8) and University of Pennsylvania (No. 10). All-women’s schools make a strong showing on the list overall, with Mount Holyoke College landing at No. 6. Rounding out the top 10 are Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 5), Georgetown University (No. 7) and Brandeis University (No. 9).

All but one of the top 10 are clustered in the Northeast. But from there they sharply divide between tiny student-centric liberal arts colleges focused on intellectual exploration and intense research powerhouses concerned with innovation and hands-on experimentation. That’s the good news: there’s a top school for every kind of international student.
