UCSD admitted the largest number of new international students ever this fall. The tuition an international student helps offset the recent state budget cuts.
Freshmen international students at UCSD have increased by 250 percent. Last year, only 100 freshmen were admitted — this year 350 were.
UCSD welcomed 1,300 new international students this year. Only 1,000 new students were admitted in 2010. The total number of undergraduate and graduate international students this year is 3,212 compared to last year’s 2,333 students.
“We didn’t think it would go up quite that high this year, but we weren’t surprised in the final analysis that it did,” Dean of International Education Lynn C. Anderson said. Anderson said that given the budget cuts from state funding, the out-of-state tuition paid by international students helps the campus budget tremendously.
“Out-of-state students, whether they are residents of Minnesota, New York or China, pay out of state tuition and so they’re paying an additional $35,000 per year beyond what California residents would pay,” Anderson said.
This past year, approximately $35 million came from out-of-state tuition, $15 million of which accounted for the undergraduate enrollments. Another $35 million went to on- and off-campus housing, meals, services, gasoline, and entertainment.
Anderson said that UCSD’s 2012 rank as 8th best university in the country by U.S. News & World and 33rd in the world by Times Higher Education and Thomson Reuters, is a reason for the surge in international students.
“UC San Diego is highly regarded internationally and UC San Diego’s reputation as a world-class university continues to grow, so the large numbers of international students seeking admission is not surprising,” Anderson said in an email.
