How many years is the undergraduate course in American universities?
American universities are divided into public and private, four-year and two-year programs, including more than 2,600 four-year universities offering bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, and two-year community colleges.

Students who choose the two-year academic system of American community colleges can get associate degree certificates, but if they are employed, they are at a disadvantage. Most students will transfer to public or private universities in the United States for further study after completing the two-year academic system of private universities.

Extended data

The United States is a federal country. There is no government department like the Ministry of Education of China to manage its higher education, but national and regional accreditation centers accredit institutions of higher learning and majors. The academic system also varies by region and school.

The academic system adopted by American universities varies from school to school, and it can be divided into four types: EarlySemesters System, Term System, Dormitory System and Three Term System.

Different academic systems will affect the calculation of graduation credits, the way of starting classes and the learning cycle. In the United States, the early semester system is becoming more and more popular, and many schools have also changed from the school season and semester system to the early semester system.
