Over 70% Chinese Students who been expelled from U.S. colleges are from the Top 100 Universities
"Academic integrity issues have become the primary reason for Chinese students being expelled from American universities."
Throughout the years, the United States has been the top choice for Chinese students studying abroad due to its abundant educational resources and excellent teaching quality. Chinese international students constitute the highest proportion among all international students in the United States, accounting for 30.58% in 2022, ranking first.
However, not all students can graduate successfully. Insufficient preparation for studying in the United States, inadequate adaptation skills, and a lack of self-directed learning awareness have led to a significant number of Chinese students in the United States facing academic crises every year.
Reports of Expulsion of Chinese Students in the United States Revealed
WholeRen Education has released the "2023 Status Report on Chinese Students Studying in the United States" after collecting data from 110,960 students. The report found that among Chinese international students expelled by American universities, nearly half were required to leave due to academic dishonesty.
Academic Dishonesty as the Primary Reason
After randomly sampling data from 1,000 students between March 2022 and March 2023, the reasons for students being advised to withdraw from their studies were primarily as follows:
Academic dishonesty, accounting for 47.9%;
Poor academic performance, accounting for 46.3%;
Lack of understanding of school regulations, accounting for 2.6%;
Inappropriate behavior, accounting for 3.2%.
The proportion of students who were advised to withdraw due to academic dishonesty has been gradually decreasing since 2021 but remains the primary cause of Chinese students being advised to withdraw. Meanwhile, the proportion of students advised to withdraw due to poor academic performance rebounded to 46.3% starting from 2021, holding steady with the proportion of students advised to withdraw for academic dishonesty.
2. Over 70% of Students who were been expelled Come from the TOP 100 Schools
Contrary to the common perception that academic dishonesty and poor academic performance are primarily associated with underachieving students, the survey reveals that in 2023, 75.6% of students advised to withdraw were from the top 100 ranked universities in the United States. Among them:
Students from the top 50 schools constituted the largest proportion at 51.4%, surpassing half of the total.
Students from schools ranked 51-100 accounted for 24.2%.
Those ranked beyond the top 100 made up 24.4%."
