Percentages are based on first-year student-athletes (non-transfers) at Divisions I or II colleges. Similar data are not available for Division III.
Student-athletes with a non-U.S. country of origin were categorized as international. Students from the 50 U.S. states and U.S. territories (e.g. Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.) were considered domestic. See Detailed Methodsslide for more information.
Data include all first-year student-athletes who were in a 2018 Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) cohort or in the 2018 Division II Academic Performance Census (APC). This may exclude some Division I walk-ons and others who do not meet academic tracking inclusion criteria in Divisions I or II.

Detailed MethodologyProspective student-athletes (PSAs) who wish to compete in Division I or Division II must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. All PSAs are assigned a unique NCAA ID number in the process.Country is captured during registration when PSAs enter their home address. Previous country is input for PSAs submitting high school transcripts from an additional country. NCAA research determined country of origin using the country listed in all cases except for PSAs listing an U.S. address who also listed a non-U.S. previous country. In those cases, country of origin was set to the previous country. For example, the country of origin for a PSA residing in the U.S. during senior year of high school who was previously enrolled at a high school in Argentina is Argentina. Matching on NCAA ID, we merged country of origin with Division I and Division II academic cohort data, which allowed us to determine country of origin for student-athletes in each sport’s cohort. Due to data corrections and the movement of schools or sports in and out of each division, data for each academic cohort is rerun annually, which may result in slight changes to the percentages previously reported. Country of origin for Division III student-athletes was not included because Division III student-athletes are not required to register with the Eligibility Center. For this population, the only source of international participation in Division III is the NCAA Demographic Database. The number and percentage of international student-athletes within the academic data is higher than captured in the NCAA Demographics Database. This may be because of the cohort restrictions (e.g. Division I academic cohorts are typically limited to student-athletes on scholarship) or because international student-athletes’ race/ethnicity is input for them by someone who may assign another racial category (e.g. Asian, Black, White) rather than selecting “Non-resident Alien,” which is included as one of the race/ethnicity options within the NCAA Demographics Database.
