Rate of Foreign Doctorate Recipients Who Stay in the U.S. has Declined Slightly in Recent Years, According to Report
The number of foreign students receiving doctorates in science and engineering from United States (U.S.) universities and staying in this country historically has increased. In recent years, however, stay rates peaked and then declined slightly, according to a report issued by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is a U.S. Department of Energy institute focusing on scientific initiatives to research health risks from occupational hazards, assess environmental cleanup, respond to radiation medical emergencies, support national security and emergency preparedness, and educate the next generation of scientists.
