The two levels diverge most at St. Francis College: 12.5% of its 1,934 undergraduates and 95.7% of its 1,618 graduate students. These are different admissions systems with different applicant pools, different money and different reasons to say yes, and a single state figure hides both.
48,040 of 685,591 undergraduates and 64,850 of 249,489 graduate students. IPEDS reports no graduate enrolment for 19 of these institutions; their rows show a dash rather than a zero, because the file not carrying a number is not the same as the number being none.
What the state figure is an average of
The largest graduate enrolments in New York, each with its own non-resident share. Nothing here is excluded from the figures above. The point is to show what they are made of.
| Institution | Graduate students | Share of the state | Non-resident |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York University | 27,575 | 11.1% | 41.9% |
| Columbia University in the City of New York | 26,168 | 10.5% | 46.4% |
| University at Buffalo | 11,426 | 4.6% | 35.3% |
| Cornell University | 10,213 | 4.1% | 49.9% |
| Stony Brook University | 8,316 | 3.3% | 22.9% |
| Syracuse University | 7,209 | 2.9% | 33.0% |
No single institution decides this figure. The largest, New York University, holds 11.1% of the state’s graduate enrolment, and removing it moves the state share from 26.0% to 24.0%.
Practical training, and the other student visas
A student visa does not end at graduation. Optional Practical Training lets a graduate work on the same visa, and a STEM degree adds a further twenty-four months. It applies at both levels — a foreign undergraduate can take OPT as readily as a doctoral graduate — which is why the undergraduate share above is not the end of the story.
| Institution | OPT authorisations | National rank | STEM OPT authorisations | National rank | Students employed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Columbia University in the City of New York | 4,118 | 2 | 2,036 | 2 | 6,359 |
| University at Buffalo | 1,870 | 11 | 1,154 | 11 | 3,204 |
| Cornell University | 1,230 | 27 | 684 | 26 | 1,981 |
| Stony Brook University | 519 | 81 | 291 | 68 | 901 |
| Syracuse University | 912 | 52 | 366 | 62 | 1,341 |
| Binghamton University | 470 | 100 | 194 | 97 | 711 |
| Rochester Institute of Technology | 0 | — | 174 | 74 | 0 |
Do not add these two columns together. A graduate who holds post-completion OPT and then a STEM extension in the same year appears in both, and the sum counts that person twice. They are authorisations, not people. Figures are for 2024, from SEVP’s top-100 and top-200 school lists — an institution outside those lists has no published figure, which is a fact about the list and never a zero.
J-1 physicians. New York hosted 2,853 J-1 physicians in graduate medical education in 2025. That list is published for the top twelve states only, so a state missing from it has no published figure.
In-state against out-of-state
Public four-year institutions, FY2024. Every foreign student pays the out-of-state rate, so this is the price attached to the non-resident column everywhere else on this page.
| Measure | In-state | Out-of-state |
|---|---|---|
| Share of students (FTE) | 88.1% | 11.1% |
Out-of-state is not the same as foreign. SHEEO counts international students and domestic students from other states in one column. This shows what a non-resident pays, never how many of them are foreign. Figures are net tuition and fee revenue per full-time-equivalent student — what the institution actually collected after its own aid, not the published price. Public four-year institutions only; medical FTE excluded. SHEEO records that New York could not provide a complete tuition breakout for this year.
Every institution
Largest first by total enrolment. A dash means the institution awards none of that degree, or that no federal research money was matched to it.

Degrees are pooled over 2021–2025. Enrolment and federal money are the most recent year in the file. “Non-res” means a student here on a temporary visa, almost always F-1 or J-1. A green card holder is not counted in it.
How few institutions this is
Of the 181 institutions in New York, 59 award a research doctorate at all, and the largest two award 23.0% of them. A state’s graduate pipeline is a much smaller thing than its list of colleges.

The foreign share of graduate students, where the survey reaches
The NSF Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates asks institutions directly, and it covers 64 of the 181 institutions in New York. It is a different measure from the degree counts above: enrolled students rather than degrees awarded.

SUNY College of Optometry
The highest foreign share of doctoral students in the state, at 100.0%. It is not the largest institution here and it is not the one with the most federal money. Size and share are different questions, and a state page that ranked only by size would not show this.
What the state itself puts in
State appropriations per full-time-equivalent student, from the SHEEO finance survey, against the change in the foreign share of graduate enrolment over the same window.
| Measure | First year | Last year | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| State appropriations per FTE student | $12,295 | $15,737 | +28.0% |
| Foreign share of graduate enrolment | 13.0% | 17.0% | +4.0 pts |
These two rows move for their own reasons. Nothing here shows that one caused the other, and the page does not say it did.
Department by department

From the dissertation corpus, which is built from what universities publish about their own graduates. It covers the institutions on this site, not every institution in the state, so it is a floor.
What is not published for a state this size
Two of the measures this site uses elsewhere do not exist at this scale, and the reason is the same in both cases: the agency publishes a ranked extract rather than the whole file.
- Practical training is not published here. SEVP releases the top 100 and top 200 schools for OPT and STEM OPT, not every school. An institution outside those lists has no published figure at all. Its absence is a fact about the list, not about the institution, and it must never be read as a zero.
- Student visa counts are not published by state. DHS reports SEVIS records nationally and names a few states per region in its commentary. For most states it publishes a percentage change and no count, so the number of foreign students physically in a state cannot be read off the federal release.
- Enrolment is the measure that does exist. IPEDS asks every institution directly, which is why this page is built from it. It counts students enrolled, not visas issued, and the two are different questions.
Method and limits
- Non-resident means here on a temporary visa. IPEDS defines it as a person “who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely.” A green card holder is therefore never counted here. Neither is a refugee or an asylee. Those students are reported in the race and ethnicity categories alongside citizens. For students the category is overwhelmingly F-1 and J-1.
- It is not ethnicity and not country of origin. A US-born citizen of any background is never non-resident. The status is recorded when the student enrols, for the enrolment figures, and when the degree is awarded, for the degree counts. These files cannot be split any other way.
- Degrees are pooled over 2021–2025, because a single year at a small institution moves on one student.
- Enrolment and awards are different measures and will not agree. One counts people on a given day; the other counts degrees conferred over five years.
- Federal money is matched to a campus, and a system that reports centrally can carry money its branches spend.
- This page shows composition, not displacement. It records who received the degrees. It does not show that anyone was kept out, and nothing here should be read that way.
