Are all American universities four-year?
There is no fixed number of years to study in the United States. Colleges and universities offer two-year courses and issue diplomas in arts and sciences. There is no limit on the length of undergraduate education (obtaining a bachelor's degree) in the United States, but it is generally four years, and the academic year standards of different institutions are different.

For students who have no language scores, many universities in the United States offer "conditional admission", also known as "double admission", that is, the academic performance meets the school admission requirements, but the language performance does not meet, and the school can enroll first. Students should take an English exam after entering school. If they pass the language test, some universities can directly enroll in university courses. If students fail the language test, they need to learn English for a period of time. Once they pass the English test prescribed by the school, they can enter the university course directly without applying again. This kind of university is especially suitable for senior three students, who can study abroad and generally prepare for the college entrance examination. You can know the admission results of American universities before the college entrance examination is over. If the college entrance examination is not satisfactory, you can apply for an American visa at the end of June, attend language training in July and August, and study in the United States in early September.

The undergraduate education system in America is very flexible. In the first year, students generally don't need to determine their major. Students can try different subjects more, so as to find their real interests. American universities are all practice-oriented, and generally help students to practice in enterprises from the beginning of their junior year. Because of this, students who graduated from better universities in the United States can generally find good jobs and adapt to the company environment quickly. In addition, during the study period, the school will provide students with a lot of practical training opportunities, such as student associations, various performances, voluntary activities, company internships and so on. Participating in these activities requires students to have certain interpersonal skills.
