US International Education in 2030

Since 2018, the Global Student Flows Project at HolonIQ has mapped and forecast the flow of international students studying at higher education institutions around the world. Powered by leading experts and economists from around the world, a proprietary global flows framework and advanced technology to map and project over 10,000 unique country-to-country flows each year, the initiative aims to inform governments, universities, institutions and firms around the world in setting strategy, policy and allocating resources to support the growth of international education.

With the post-pandemic resurgence of student mobility, the Global Student Flows Project is stepping up to support stakeholders with more detailed forecasts and analysis, starting with the world's leading study destination, the United States. This open-source briefing will share our final 2023 findings from a 20-week effort including over 60 interviews with policy makers and economists, source and destination country higher education experts and the latest versions of our global flows qualitative framework and quantitative forecasting models.
