Since 2004, the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) has conducted a multi-year empirical examination of international graduate application, admission, and enrollment trends.

This analysis responds to member institutions’ concerns about continuing changes in the enrollment of students from abroad seeking master’s and doctoral degrees from U.S. colleges and universities. The core of this examination is a three-phase survey of CGS member institutions:

• Initial Applications (February)
• Final Applications and Initial Offers of Admission (June)
• Final Offers of Admission and Enrollment (October)

The following reports summarize the findings of the CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey:
