Indiana University is one of the top schools in the nation when it comes to students who study abroad. According to the most recent data, the Bloomington campus is ranked fifth among 1,500 U.S. institutions during the 2018-19 academic year.

The campus ranking moves up one notch from the previous year. IU says a record 3,244 IU Bloomington students studied abroad during that year, which is an increase of more than 6%.

When factoring all IU campuses, nearly 4,500 students studied abroad.

At IUPUI, a record 640 students traveled outside the U.S. as part of their academic programs.

The data came from the 2020 Open Doors Report from the Institute of International Education.
