The two charts present the number of overseas students in the USA over the years between 2000 and 2004 by country and subject respectively.
The vertical axis gives the number of international students while the horizontal axis shows change by year. We can see that there was a dramatic rise in Indian students studying in America over a four-year period from around 41, 000 to just under 80, 000. The number of students from Japan and Taiwan fell gradually while there was an increasing number of students from China, however in 2003 numbers from Japan, Taiwan and China dropped more strongly by 2004. Meanwhile numbers of Korean and Canadian students went up slightly from approximately 41, 000 and 22, 000 to 51, 000 and 28, 000 respectively. Student numbers from Mexico, Turkey, Thailand and Indonesia showed almost same figures by 2002, and then there was a slight change each.
The right-hand side of chart by subject displays that the most popular major was business and management with more than 100, 000 students. The next popular subject was engineering which reached to just under 100, 000 in 2003 and then plummeted sharply towards around 63, 000 in 2004, followed by mathematics and computing which numbers got ahead of numbers in engineering with just under 70, 000 at the end of 2004. Lastly students in social science remained stable at just above 40, 000 between 2000 and 2003 and then they have soared noticeably by approximately 56, 000 for a year while students in life science has been stayed relatively steady over the four years.
Overall we can say that there have been up-and-down changes in the number of students in the USA by country or subject between 2000 and 2004, particularly numbers of students studying in engineering and mathematics and computing fluctuated.
