\"smiling<\/a>There\u2019s a reason that students who study abroad can\u2019t stop talking about it. Spending time abroad not only fulfills academic goals, but also lets you experience a new culture, language, and environment. \u00a0While the overall numbers of U.S. college students who study abroad is still relatively small, it has steadily increased over the last few years.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the most recent data by the Institute of International Education (IIE)*, the 2013-14 academic year reached a record high with over 300 thousand U.S. students studying abroad. In fact, the amount of students that packed their bags that year more than doubled than the previous decade. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, who exactly is studying abroad, and what are the most popular destinations? Based on a table prepared by the <\/span>National Center for Education Statistics<\/span><\/a> on the <\/span>IIE\u2019s Open Doors: Report on International Educational Exchange<\/span><\/i><\/a>,<\/span> we\u2019ve compiled the following infographics to help clarify.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gender<\/h2>\n

Approximately two-thirds of students studying abroad are female. This number hardly changed in 2013-14 school year in comparison to the 2003-04 school year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Number<\/a>Click to enlarge image<\/a><\/p>\n

Race\/Ethnicity<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nearly 84% of students studying abroad in 2003-04 were white. This number decreased by 9.4% in 2013-14. Moreover, the black and Hispanic students studying abroad increased by 2.2% and 3.3%, respectively. \u00a0The smallest group of students who study abroad are American Indian or Alaskan Natives. <\/span><\/p>\n

Academic Level<\/span><\/h2>\n

Junior year is by far the most popular time to travel abroad followed by Senior year. However, the biggest change occurs with Bachelor’s level students, which saw a 7.2% decrease in the number of students studying abroad, dropping from third most popular in 2003-04 to fifth most popular in 2013-14. <\/span><\/p>\n

Destination<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not surprisingly, Europe is the most popular destination with over half of the students studying abroad. Growth in study abroad in Asia had the largest increase now making up 12% of U.S. students overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"NumberClick to enlarge image<\/a><\/p>\n

Duration<\/span><\/h2>\n

A decade ago, it was most popular to study abroad for one semester or the summer term. Today, there has been a slight decrease in studying for one semester and it became increasingly popular to study abroad for 8 weeks or less during the academic year. <\/span><\/p>\n
