Why
Study in the US?
Of
the 1.2 million students pursuing postsecondary education outside their home
countries, more than one-third choose to study in the United States. Why do so
many students from all over the world choose U.S. colleges and universities?
What does the United States have to offer you...
Academic Excellence
The United States has one of the world's finest
university systems, with outstanding programs in virtually all fields. At the
undergraduate level, excellent programs exist in traditional disciplines as
well as in professional fields. At the graduate level, students often have the
opportunity to work directly with some of the finest minds in the world. U.S.
degrees are recognized throughout the world for their excellence.
Variety of Educational Opportunities
The higher education system in the United
States has something for everyone. Some U.S. colleges and universities stress
broad educational principles: others stress practical, employment-related
skills; and still others specialize in technical fields, the arts, or social
sciences. As a result, if you are looking for an institution where you can
study a particular field - no matter how unusual or specific - you can usually
find several from which to choose in the United States.
Cutting-Edge Technology
U.S. universities pride themselves on being at
the forefront of technology and educational techniques, and in making
available to their students the best possible equipment and resources. Even if
your field does not directly involve science or engineering, you will become
skilled in using the latest technology to obtain and process information. You
will find ways to stay connected with people in your field all over the world.
Opportunity for Research, Teaching and
Training
If you are a graduate student, you may be able
to gain valuable experience in research or teaching while you help to finance
your education. This practical component of your education will prove useful
in your future career and may give you insights into your field that would not
be possible through course study alone. International students are some of the
most valued researchers and teachers in U.S. universities because they bring
new skills and ideas to the classroom and laboratory.
Flexibility
Although many programs are highly structured,
you will generally find many course choices. At the advanced stages of a
degree you will be able to to tailor your course work to fit your
specific needs. When you choose topics for independent study for a graduate
thesis or dissertation, you can emphasize ideas that are important to you,
your field, and your country.
Support Services for International
Students
At most institutions, services from the
international student office help students from abroad to live and learn in
their new environment. From orientation programs at the beginning of your
degree program to assistance with resumes as you get ready to graduate, you
will find people at the university and in the community who are interested in
your success.
Campus Life
U.S. universities provide a rich variety of
academic, cultural and athletic activities that add new dimensions to your
educational experience and also help you make new friends.
Global Education
Experience in an international setting is a
marketable commodity. Your long-term career prospects can be enhanced by an
experience that develops self-confidence, independence, and cross-cultural
skills - attributes that are in high demand with employers worldwide.
