- Here are just a few of the reasons why over 670,000 international students from around the world are furthering their education in the United States: Quality, Choice, Value, and Flexibility Note to Adviser: Personal testimonials and/or those of students you know are particularly important to include when speaking on these main four points in the following slides.
- U.S. colleges are known worldwide for the quality of their facilities, faculty, and resources. The U.S. is home to 75% of both the worlds top 20 and top 40 universities and over half of the top 100 . Its faculty are of the highest caliber and come from diverse backgrounds. As a result, the U.S. produces 63% of the worlds most highly cited publications , has published 30% of the worlds scientific papers , and employs 70% of the world’s Nobel Prize winners . - U.S. spending on research and development accounts for 40% of the world total , and an estimated $49 billion of this is spent directly by U.S. institutions.
- The U.S. education system features the largest diversity of institutions, entry requirements, degree programs, and areas in which you can specialize. There are more than 4,500 i nstitutions of higher education in the United States with over 10,000 academic programs to choose from. This includes English Language Programs, Two-Year Community Colleges, Four-Year Colleges & Universities, and Graduate programs. There are also programs that can be done in part or entirely online. There is a wide range of academic and social environments – and there is one that is just right for you
- A wide range of tuition fees and living costs , plus some financial help from colleges, make study in the U.S. affordable for hundreds of thousands of international students each year. Current immigration regulations permit international students to work part-time (up to 20hours per week) on campus. Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows up to 12 months of practical internship training to foreign students enrolled and participating full-time in a U.S. college or university. Students of science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) may apply for a total of 29 months .
- U.S. colleges and universities offer the worlds greatest range of course options , and changing majors mid program is usually possible. There is also the option for students to transfer between institutions . Completing the first two years of a degree at one institution - such as a community college - and then moving to another, is very common. English language and American cultural programs are available. These programs also allow international students to gain conditional enrollment in a degree program if their English language skills are not yet ready for coursework. Two-year, four-year, and master programs can be completed in less time on fast-track programs. Students also have the option to take courses during the day or night.
- Interactive Classrooms: All students partake in the discussion. This will provide you with the intercultural communication skills, new perspectives, and command of English you need to compete in the global marketplace. Academic Assignments : Rather than memorization, US institutions focus on the students ability to critically think and analyze problems. The ability to do this in a foreign environment is among the most highly sought after skills today. Team Learning : Your academics will also focus on interpersonal collaboration, being creative, and taking a proactive approach to learning. At the same time, you will be gaining life long colleagues from the US and all over the world.
- U.S. higher education is not subject to a central government authority and institutions are free to design curriculum. U.S. institutions have strong reputations for specific programs, facilities, faculty, resources, and so on, but there is no official system to rank them. Students make their choices based on what best suits their own personal needs and career/life goals. Regional and national accreditation is given to ensure institutional standards. It is important to check the accreditation of an institution with the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (hyperlinked to the CHEA webpage). Transferring from one institution to another is common. Typically, the credit must be received from an institution with regional accreditation in order to be eligible for transfer. Community colleges often have transfer agreements with colleges and universities within state. The academic semester is September through May and many institutions offer summer semesters. Each institution has its own entrance requirements and these often vary. A national entrance examination is not required for admissions.
- Benefits of starting your degree at a Community College include smaller class sizes, more individual attention, lower tuition fees, and the opportunity to complete only the last two years of an undergraduate program at a 4-year college or university. Undergraduate programs are offered in a wide range of institutions and specializations. The first two years are focused on general education requirements and the last two years are spent in the major/minor. Graduate and Postgraduate studies offer more focus and research in your major/minor. The student can earn a Masters degree and then choose to complete a PhD degree as well. Professional degrees are also offered and typically for those career choices which require licensure.
