In some colleges, international students constitute most doctoral students in the department such as computer science. At the University of Chicago, for example, foreign citizens represent 57 Pierce Recently enrolled computer doctoral doctorate last year, according to the data published by the school.

International sales students often pay complete lessons, provide funding that schools can therefore use to expand their programs. As a result, students of foreign origin are generally not the opportunities for American education, but rather create more slots in general, according to a postponement Released at the beginning of this month by the National Foundation for American Policy. The researchers of the Think Tank non -partisan have estimated that every additional doctorate assigned to an international student in a stem field is “associated with an additional doctorate assigned to a domestic student”.

Limiting the visas of the students and reducing the number of foreign citizens who study the computer science “will have a deeply impact on the field in the United States”, says Rebecca Willett, professor at the University of Chicago whose work focuses on the mathematical and statistics of automatic learning. Willett adds that the move “risks exhausting a vital pipeline of qualified professionals, weakening the United States workforce and jeopardizing the position of the nation as a global leader in IT technology”.

Mehran Sahami, president of the Stanford University computer sector department, describes changes in visa policy for students as “counterproductive”. He refused to share how many foreign students are enrolled in the Stanford computer program, which includes graduate and university students, but recognizes that it is “a lot”.

“They add a lot to it and have for decades. It is a way to bring the best and bright minds to the United States to study and end up contacting the economy later,” says Sahami. But now it fears that the talent “will end up for an appointment towards another country”.

Tea Vast majority Doctoral doctorate from China and India say they intend to remain in the United States after graduating, while the majority from some other country, such as Switzerland and Canada, reports that the planning to leave.

STEM graduates of foreign origin who often remain in the United States continue to work in American universities, private technological companies or become startup founders in Silicon Valley. Founded or co -found immigrants Almost two thirds of the best artificial intelligence companies in the United States, according to the 2023 analysis by the National Foundation for American Policy.

William Lazonick, an economist who has widely studied innovation and global competition, states that the United States experienced an influx of foreign students who studied STEM disciplines that begin in the 80s as sectors of sectors and bio -firmness and biofarmacious were suffering a technological revolution.

In the same period, Lazonick says, observed many American students who choose to enter his career in Finance Atthead of difficult sciences. “I make sense, from being a member of the faculty in public and private universities in the United States, that foreign students who pursue Stem careers have been fundamental for the very existence of the degree programs in the relevant scientific and engineering disciplines,” says Lazonick to Wired.

While the Trump administration works to limit the flow of international students and cut the financing of federal research, governments and universities all over the world have launched Elaborate campaigns short International students And we scientists, eager to take advertising in the wweet of a rare opportunity to cut American talents.

“Hong Kong is trying to attract Harvard students. The United Kingdom is creating scholarships for students,” says Shaun Carver, executive director of International House, a residential center for students at UC Berkeley. “They see it as a cerebral gain. And for us it is a brain escape.”
