UVM enrolls over 900 international students at the doctoral, master’s, undergraduate and non-degree levels. Our students hail from 65+ countries, with China sending the largest percentage of our international students (consistent with trends across U.S. higher education). Other top sending countries are Canada, India, Nigeria, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
International students represent 2% of the CNHS undergraduate population and 5% of UVM's undergraduate student population (up from 1% in 2010), reflective of increased enrollment among international students nationally. International students represent 1% of the CNHS graduate population and 10% of UVM's graduate population. In spite of recent growth, UVM’s international population as a percentage of our student body remains significantly less than most peer and aspirant public research universities.
While many of our multilingual students are international students, many others are U.S. citizens or permanent residents who were raised in homes where a language other than English was spoken and who attended high school (and perhaps all of their primary and secondary schooling) in the U.S. Learn more >>
