USA
:
American society is well
known for its diversity. Americans come from a wealth of
different racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In
addition, there are differences among the
characteristics and customs of people from the North,
South, East, West and Midwest, as well differences
between those from big cities and rural areas.

Education System
US higher education starts with |
 |
|
undergraduate
courses – a variety of certificates and diplomas, a two
year degree, known as an
associate degree, and a four year degree known as a
bachelor degree. It is possible (and often happens) that
a student may study for an associate degree, and then
study two more years to gain a bachelor (or
baccalaureate) degree – usually a bachelor degree will
be awarded by a university, whereas an associate degree
may be situated either in a community college, or a
university.
Undergraduate
education (and some masters degrees) are based on an
accumulation of courses (units of study) which are
assigned a number of credits. A student is awarded
credits for the courses they take, and the degree is
complete when the student has a certain level of
credits. This means that although most bachelor degrees
take four years, it is possible to take a degree over a
longer period, maybe part time or with some time away
from study. |

Graduate (known in
some countries as post graduate) degrees include masters
degrees, taking two years at a University. These are
often termed advanced professional degrees, as they tend
to be aimed at specific professions and are
career-advancing degrees in subjects such as medicine,
law and management e.g. Master in Business
Administration (MBA). Doctorates (PhDs) are usually four
years, and are research based. The US education system
has the reputation of being the world leader in graduate
education, , and conversely, of being the most
accessible |
 |
|
and least selective
for undergraduate education and certain graduate
programs such as teacher education and business and
management education, giving chances of higher education
to people who would not be able to have this chance in
other countries.
University
Universities offer a wide range of choice in programs as
well as subjects. Large Universities like, Harvard and
Princeton, are composed of several colleges. Depending
upon his interest, a student can choose the college.
Each college has the flexibility to set its own standard
for admission.
Another important aspect to note in case of these
institutes is that they can be both private as well as
public. Though most of the institutions receive
financial support from the federal and state
governments, public institutes rely heavily on public
funds. On the other hand the private institutions though
compete for state funds, depend more on tuition fees and
contributions from foundations and private citizens.
Some of the better-known private universities are
Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Stanford. University of
Michigan, State University of New York System (SUNY),
University of Illinois, University of Washington are
some of the public universities. |
