Why to Study in U.S.A?

USA has the world’s largest international student population, with over 800,000 students
choosing to broaden their education and life experience in the United States. Nearly 4%
of all students enrolled in higher-level education in the USA are international students,
and the numbers are growing. From the mid-1950’s, when international student
enrollment was only just reaching 35,000,000 international education in the USA has
come a long way.
We look forward to helping students who, like you, are considering continuing your
education in the United States. You will find all of the tools you need to compile your
necessary research in deciding if the United States is the best place for you — we have
gathered valuable information on educational, social, cultural and economic aspects of
studying in the U.S.

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
have the opportunity to work directly with some of the finest minds in their field of study,
with the chance to become involved with exclusive research and educational
opportunities. U.S. degrees are recognized throughout the world for their excellence.

Variety of Educational Opportunities

The United States is home to several thousand colleges and universities, boasting at
least ten times as many campuses as in any other country. As a result, the higher
education system in the U.S. has something for everyone. Some U.S. colleges and
universities stress broad educational principles; others emphasize practical,
employment-related skills; and still others specialize in the arts, social sciences or
technical fields. This means that no matter what you plan on studying, you will have a
wide variety of programs in your particular field from which to choose.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Universities in the U.S. pride themselves on being at the forefront of technology,
research and techniques, and in making the best possible equipment and resources
available to their students. Even if your field does not directly involve science or
engineering, you will have opportunities to become skilled in using the latest technology
to conduct research, as well as obtain and process information. You will find ways to
stay connected with researchers, teachers and experts in your field all over the world.

Opportunity for Research, Teaching and Training

You may be able to gain valuable experience through teaching and/or research while
you help to finance your education in the U.S., particularly if you are a graduate student.
Many graduate programs offer training and teaching opportunities that enable students
to become teaching assistants to undergraduates and/or research assistants on special
projects exploring different aspects of your field of study.
International students are some of the most valued teachers and researchers in U.S.
universities because they bring new skills and ideas to the classroom and library or
laboratory. 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.

Flexibility

Although many programs are highly structured in that specific coursework requirements
must be met, you will generally be able to find a wide variety of course choices to meet
those requirements. For example, liberal arts coursework for an undergraduate program
will include classes in languages and mathematics, but you will be given a wide variety
of classes which fit those requirements, and the freedom to decide which classes best
match your interests.
At the advanced stages of a degree, or if you are pursuing a graduate degree, you will
be able to tailor your coursework to fit your specific academic goals, needs and
interests. 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.
