University of Arkansas
In fall 2019, the University of Arkansas had 1,384 international students enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

This week, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, released new rules stating that international students whose universities opt to go entirely online in the 2020 fall semester must return home or face deportation. U of A Director of International Students and Scholars Michael Freeman says because the university plans to have both in-person and online classes, the new rules should not impact students here.
