Benefits
of Studying in USA?
The United States is the premiere destination for
international students from all over the world. The
main advantages of higher education in the USA are as
follows:
World class learning institutions
The United States has more institutions of higher
learning than any other country in the world. More
importantly than that, however, is the quality of
these academic bodies. Most American colleges and
universities offer top-notch education programs with
highly qualified teaching staff. The research at many
of these universities is cutting-edge and often
published in journals worldwide. The list of
world-class learning institutions in the USA is
endless and include, but are not limited to: Stanford
University, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, California
Institute of Technology, UC Berkeley, University of
Pennsylvania, MIT, John Hopkins, Northwestern
University, etc.
Endless study choices
One of the best things about studying in the USA is
the vast number of academic options offered to
students. Since the USA is such a large country with
vast resources, almost every field of study is
available in the country.
Worldwide recognition
A degree or certificate from a college or university
is useless if it is not recognized by employers, other
institutions or field authorities. Therefore, it is of
the utmost importance to ensure than the degree from
the school you choose is recognized in the place you
plan to use it in. Fortunately, colleges and
universities in America are given professional
accreditation by different governing bodies. These
schools have to earn their accreditation by meeting
certain criteria, helping ensure a quality education,
as well as a degree or certificate that is recognized.
Supporting industries, training & research
Because of the vast wealth of resources in America,
the opportunities for practical training related to
your field of study are vast. Most college and
universities have established affiliations with
employers and researchers in different fields of
study, thereby creating an avenue for students to
obtain hands-on and invaluable experience.
People and culture
America is a melting pot of people from all over the
world. One will find most Americans to be very
hospitable, friendly, kind, generous and accepting of
foreigners. Of course, there are a few exceptions, as
in any country, but these are not the norm. In
general, the people are funny, gregarious, innovative,
and eager to learn. These are traits that many
international students adopt and take home with them.
Technology
Regardless of what degree a student chooses to pursue
in school, he or she will have to use computers and
other technologies in order to succeed. Many
universities incorporate the latest technology into
their curriculum, encouraging students to obtain
proficiency before they go out into the workplace.
Specialized technology, such as the newest medical
equipment in medical schools, allows each student to
maximize their true potential and gain experience that
is marketable in the real world.
Flexibility
Since the USA school system utilizes credit units and
often accommodates working students, most schools
offer academic programs that are flexible in nature.
This means that, very often, one can choose when to
attend classes, how many classes to enroll in each
semester or quarter, what elective or optional classes
to take, etc. An American education is very conforming
to each student's needs.
Campus experience
It has been said that the friends and experience
obtained during campus life are worth as much as the
education itself. Many make friends that last
lifetimes. The lessons learned my co-existing and
living with others from all over the world are
priceless.
Global focus
More and more often, American colleges and
universities are focusing on the global aspects of
each subject, better preparing students with a
worldwide view of their field. No longer can students
merely focus on certain geographic areas when
obtaining their academic training.
