As of April 3, the UA had received 1,721 applications from foreign students for the incoming class, compared to 2,279 on April 3, 2016.
Forty percent of the applicants this year come from China.
The deadline to apply for the UA’s undergraduate programs is May 15.
Graduate applications are also down versus last year, but to a lesser degree, falling 9 percent.
Deadlines for graduate school vary, with some programs accepting applications through the end of summer.
