Other major contributors include:
- **Michigan State University**, with approximately 4,540 international students (based on 2020 data).
- **University of Michigan–Dearborn**, which saw 783 international students in 2023 and is preparing for potential enrollment drops.
- **Central Michigan University (CMU)**, where officials anticipate a 70% decline in international student enrollment due to recent visa and immigration policy concerns.
