Each year, the Institute of International Education (IIE) conducts a survey of the number of foreign students studying in American colleges and universities and reports these data in Open Doors. All of the regionally accredited institutions in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) survey conducted published by NCES are surveyed by IIE. The data presented in the Digest are drawn from the IIE survey that requests the total enrollment of foreign students in an institution and information on student characteristics, such as country of origin. For the 2002-03 survey, approximately 90 percent of the 2,700 institutions surveyed reported data.
