How International Graduates Power the Economy of Greater Philadelphia

Join Campus Philly and International House Philadelphia as we share our latest research study: International Talent, Local Impact: How International Graduates Power the Economy of Greater Philadelphia.

Each year, over 20,000 international students enroll in colleges and universities in Greater Philadelphia. These students play a crucial role in the local higher education system and make a significant economic impact on the region. Many choose to study in the U.S. to gain work experience after graduation. This trend is especially important as higher education institutions nationwide face an impending “enrollment cliff” due to a decline in the number of 18-year-olds in the U.S. starting in 2025. Attend this research briefing to understand the upcoming talent challenges, discover how our region can leverage the increasing number of international graduates, and discuss implications for 2025 and beyond.
