US Higher Education

A personal benefit to getting an education is the opportunity to grow as an individual, experiment with what you are passionate about, and find yourself. You will be exposed to a diverse set of people and ideas which expand the mind.

With thousands of academic programs, world-class institutions, and unmatched flexibility, the United States offers a wealth of higher-education opportunities that you will not find anywhere else in the world!

Following high school, students can choose to study a bachelor’s (or “undergraduate”) degree at a college or university.

Bachelor’s degrees in the USA typically take 4 years to complete. The first 2 years consists of basic, core-required courses, such as science, literature, and humanities, and the final 2 years will focus on your chosen “major” subject – the degree is crafted to develops a well-rounded knowledge across different subject areas – to get you prepared for global challenges ahead.

The bachelor’s degrees are flexibly designed to allow you to change their major after 1 or 2 years. You can also add on a “minor” (a “mini-major”) in a different subject, study more than one major, or get a head start on graduate studies through an accelerated degree program. Within your degree, you can have a huge choice of elective courses so you can customize it to your interests and strengths.
