Oregon State Reports Undergraduate Growth Alongside International Graduate Drop

Oregon State University announced its fall 2026 enrollment statistics, showing a total population of 37,460 students, which is slightly below the previous year's record. While overall undergraduate numbers tracked 7% higher across affiliated locations, international graduate enrollment dropped by 21%.

University representatives pointed to student visa processing delays and denials as the reason for the decrease in international graduate students. Meanwhile, international undergraduate numbers saw a 6% increase from the prior fall.

Broader national figures show thousands of student visa revocations during the current presidential administration, though campus-specific impacts vary. Surveys from organizations like NAFSA and the American Council on Education also indicate widespread drops in new international student enrollment across multiple institutions due to immigration restrictions and policy pressures.
