Is there an age limit in American universities?
Yes, American schools generally have a minimum age limit and no upper age limit. High school applicants must complete the nine-year compulsory education stipulated by the China government. Those who apply for a college degree or above must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma.

For visas, American embassies generally respect the admission conditions of schools. However, from the perspective of examining and approving the application for studying abroad visa, the embassy will consider the applicant's application intention. If the applicant is over 35 years old, the embassy will focus on whether the applicant's age is the best age for education.

Extended data:

In America, 16- 18 years old must go to school. Now many states require students to study until they are 18 years old. Some states only stipulate that you must study until you are 14 years old. Students can attend public schools, private schools or home schools. In most public and private schools, education is divided into three levels: primary school, junior high school and senior high school.

American education is mainly provided by the government, controlled and funded by the federal government, state government and local government (school district). In primary and secondary schools, policies such as curriculum, funds and teaching are decided by the local elected school district committee. According to officials and budgets, school districts are usually separated from other local affairs. Educational standards and standard tests are usually set by state governments.
