2014-2015 Academic Cycle

Introduction
This report provides international youth exchange statistics from the 2014-2015 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 regions1.
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 CSIET by exchange organizations voluntarily applying
for listing in the CSIET Advisory List2. 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 on what is presented by applicant youth programs and is not externally
verified by CSIET.

1If a student participated across calendar years, his/her record is counted in each year.
2The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) annually evaluates U.S.-based youth exchange programs to ensure
compliance with CSIET Standards, so that students, families, and schools can identify reputable inbound and outbound exchange organizations.

Terminology
The 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 data table or graph will
be labeled “Total Inbound Figures” or “J-1 & F-1 Visa Figures Combined”. In other words, these
terms refer to data that includes all students represented in this report—both J-1 and F-1--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.

United States Data
The percentage of high school exchange students in the U.S. on the J-1 visa out of the total number of
exchange students decreased from 86% in 2013-14 to 77% in 2014-15. Likewise, the percentage of F-1
students increased from 14% in 2013-14 to 23% in 2014-15.
Since 2006 the Midwest has been the leading hosting region of the total number of high school exchange
students in the U.S. and also, in 2014-15, of students on the J-1 visa.
The Northeast is the leading hosting region of students on the F-1 visa.
Since 2008 California, Michigan, and Texas continue to be the top three hosting states of the total number
of high school exchange students in the U.S. and also, in 2014-15, of students on the J-1 visa.
California and Pennsylvania remain two of the top three hosting states of international students on the F-1
visa in the U.S. Massachusetts replaced NewYork as the other of the three.

About CSIET
The mission of the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (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.
CSIET achieves its mission by setting standards for international youth exchange programs; monitoring
organizations’ compliance with CSIET Standards; publishing the results of the review process in the Advisory
List; and distributing the Advisory List throughout the education community. CSIET operates through a
network of national and state educational associations, exchange organizations, secondary schools, parents,
students, and community groups.
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.
