3-3 Number of international students
In Academic Year (AY) 2011, a temporary decrease was observed due to numerous cancellations of study abroad following the Great East Japan Earthquake, but excluding this particular year, there is an increasing trend since 2005. This is markedly the case in the number of students from Asia which is almost double that of ten years ago. Also the number of students from Europe doubled in ten years though not as large as that from Asia. The numbers of international students (regardless of visa status) and international students (with visa status “College student”) show similar trend of increase and decrease. The number of students by nationality in descending order is as follows: in AY 2005; 1. USA: 222 students (183); 2. People’s Republic of China: 177 (148); 3. The Republic of Korea: 120 (64); in AY 2014; 1. People’s Republic of China: 435 (353); 2. The Republic of Korea 228 (124); 3. USA 194 (177). (The number in brackets is students with visa status “College student”)
