Abstract	While the number of exchange visas for international students and professors is up overall, the post-Sept. 11 decline continues for many majority-Muslim countries. Last November, the U.S. Department of State heralded a record high number of visas issued to international students and exchange visitors. A report by the Institute of International Education (IIE) on international students at U.S. colleges and universities confirmed that the number of student visas issued reached an "all-time high" for the 2007-08 academic year. International student enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities had seen constant growth most every year in the past quarter-century--with a glaring exception after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when enrollment dropped three years in a row. In the 1983-1984 academic year, there were 338,894 international students in U.S. higher education. That peaked at 586,323 in the 2002-2003 academic year that began the year after the Sept. 11 attacks--and dropped for three straight years afterward. It was only in the 2007-2008 academic year that international student numbers in the United States rebounded to a record number--623,805--exceeding its previous peak. But a Diverse analysis of international student and exchange visitor visas found that those numbers have not rebounded from pre-Sept. 11 levels for the majority of the 25 North African and Asian nations that received extra scrutiny after the attacks.
