nsf.gov - SRS First-time S&E Graduate Enrollment of Foreign Students Rebounds in 2005 - US National Science Foundation (NSF):

"Total U.S. enrollment of foreign graduate students in science and engineering (S&E) fields continued to decline in 2005, but enrollment of first-time, full-time foreign S&E graduate students rose 4% over the 2004 level—the first increase since 2001. First-time, full-time S&E graduate enrollment of students overall and of students with U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status both rose by about 3% over 2004 levels. Total S&E graduate student enrollment and numbers of postdoctoral appointees (postdocs) in S&E fields reached new peaks in 2005. Data are from the 2005 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering, cosponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)."
