Colleges and universities with a significant international student population are facing financial risks as the federal government increases scrutiny on this demographic. Institutions with over 20 percent international enrollment are most at risk, particularly those already experiencing financial difficulties. International students typically pay full tuition fees, and any decline in their numbers could significantly impact tuition income. Furthermore, declining high school demographics are expected to reduce the number of domestic students, complicating efforts to fill these gaps with international admissions.
The reduction in international students presents a credit risk for universities heavily reliant on this demographic because of potential declines in tuition income, as international students typically pay full tuition fees.
Additionally, with declining numbers of high school students over the next several years in the U.S. leading to fewer domestic students, universities intending to fill the gap with more international students may fall short.
