U.S. Students in Overseas Degree Programs: Key Destinations and Fields of Study, a new report made possible through the collaboration of 13
Project Atlas partners including the Institute of International Education (IIE), presents findings from the first-ever survey on U.S. students pursuing full degrees abroad at the postsecondary level, their specific level of study, and their chosen field of study. The information on U.S. degree students pursuing degrees abroad complements data reported in Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange on U.S. students who receive academic credit for study abroad from institutions in the U.S., and helps to complete the picture of outbound postsecondary mobility in the United States.
