ABOUT CSIETWho We Are

The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) is a not-for-profit organization committed to quality international

educational travel and exchange for youth at the high school level.

Brief History of CSIET

In 1982, the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative encouraged schools and communities to embrace international youth

exchange. As sensitivity toward exchange increased, educators and administrators of exchange programs began to recognize the need

for a means of monitoring performance in the international youth exchange industry. As a result, the International Youth Exchange

Office of the United States Information Agency (now the United States Department of State) commissioned a study by the Council of

Chief State School Officers. The study revealed that the lack of industry-wide standards made many school systems uncertain about the

quality of exchange programs and reluctant to encourage participation. Prompt action by the private sector was recommended. In

response, representatives of education and exchange communities gathered to develop industry standards and implement a system of

program evaluation. The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel was created to uphold the standards and monitor

exchange programs in December of 1984.

Mission Statement

The mission of CSIET is to provide leadership and support for the exchange and educational communities to ensure that youth are

provided with safe and valuable international and cultural exchange experiences. CSIET's purpose is to identify those organizations that

successfully demonstrate:

• Commitment to CSIET Standards;

• Dedication to the development and sharing of Community Best Practices; and

• Support for the educational value of international youth exchange.

INTRODUCTION

This report provides international youth exchange statistics from the 2017-2018 academic cycle. Specifically, it

covers trends of high school students– both from the U.S. and from around the world– participating in

semester and academic year exchange programs. The information is organized by country of origin and world

region as well as U.S. hosting states and regions. Statistics in this report are represented in two sections– U.S.

Data and World Data. Included in each section are tables for each category of exchange activity, including a

breakdown of J-1 and F-1 activity, followed by graphs that provide a comparative perspective.

- Please Note -

These statistics are based on data reported to Council on Standards for International Exchange Travel (CSIET)

by exchange organizations voluntarily applying for listing in the CSIET Advisory List. Since not all U.S.- based

exchange organizations apply for CSIET listing, the statistics in this report do not include every existing U.S.

Youth Exchange Organization. Additionally, the accuracy of the data collected is contingent upon data

presented by the applicant youth programs and is not externally verified by CSIET. Since not all U.S. based

exchange organizations apply for CSIET listing, the statistics in this document do not include every existing U.S.

based international student exchange organization.

4

TERMINOLOGYThe statistics in this report reflect international youth exchange conducted by U.S.- based programs. Therefore,

“Inbound” figures represent placements made by programs that bring international students into the United

States.

Likewise, “Outbound” figures represent placements made by programs that send American students abroad.

Students on both J-1 Visas and F-1 Visas are included in these statistics, though the way they are represented

varies throughout the report.

When students on J-1 Visas and F-1 Visas are represented together as one figure, the table or graph will be

labeled “Total Inbound Figures” or “J-1 & F-1 Visa Figures Combined,” meaning that the data includes all

students represented in this report—both J-1 and F-1 – and are combined into one number.

On the other hand, “Comparison of J-1 & F-1 Visa Figures” refers to data tables or graphs that represent J-1 and

F-1 visa figures separately, often to draw comparisons of the visa- specific activity.

The legend below refers to rank comparisons on the data tables indicating any increase or decrease from the

previous year.
