DID YOU KNOW OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE U.S. HAS DOMINATED THE GLOBE IN BEING THE MOST POPULAR UNIVERSITY DESTINATION FOR STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD?.
In the USA, compulsory education varies from state to state, but most children must attend school between ages 6 and 18. The education system is divided into primary, secondary and higher education.
Children attend elementary school (kindergarten to grade 5).
Ages 11-14
Children attend middle school (grades 6-8).
Ages 14-18
Students attend high school (grades 9–12).
They complete coursework in English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Physical Education, and can choose optional courses from Arts, Foreign Languages and other departments.
Students can choose to study a bachelor’s (or “undergraduate”) degree at a college or university.
US bachelor’s degrees usually last 4 years. Students take classes in a variety of departments before officially declaring a “major” (primary subject of focus) by the end of their 2nd year. They develop critical thinking, writing and presentation skills, and build on other areas to prepare them for their careers.
Studying an Undergraduate Program or Bachelor's Degree Completion Program can prepare you for progression to an undergraduate degree in the USA.
After a bachelor’s degree, some students continue on to a master’s degree (also called a “graduate” degree).
An American master’s degree usually lasts 2–3 years, but fast-track 1 year programs are available. Graduate-level education lets students study a subject in greater depth, and can either be academic or more career-focused.
Studying a Graduate Pathway Program can prepare you for progression to a postgraduate degree in the USA.
US Universities fall under two major categories: public (state supported), and private (independent) institutions. International students’ tuition expenses at state schools are based on nonresident costs, which are still usually less expensive than those of private universities.
It’s important to note that the cost of a program in a US school does not necessarily affect its quality. A brief idea can be got from the following table:
University Type | Average Tuition Fees (annual in U.S. Dollars) |
Private Institutions (High Cost) | $ 35,000 |
Private Institutions (Low Cost) | $ 18,000 |
State Institutions (High Cost) | $ 25,000 |
State Institutions (Low Cost) | $ 12,000 |
* The tuition fee is different for different universities and varies widely with courses. It can vary from as low as $ 10000 a year for state universities to as much as $ 35000 per annum for some private universities.
