A recent CSET Issue Brief takes a very quant-based approach to create a snapshot of the international Ph.D. graduate students trained in the U.S. For years, the conventional wisdom has been that a) Domestic U.S. universities are training a disproportionate amount of international Ph.D. graduate students, and b) The U.S. is impacting its strategic opportunity for advantage by training advanced STEM talent and then sending them back to their home countries. The results of the CSET analysis are compelling and contradict the notion that the U.S. has created our own ‘brain drain factory’ at the Ph.D. Graduate-level at U.S. universities.  Quite the contrary.
