First, the application method
1, suitable for people
At present, there are two types of studying abroad in colleges: undergraduate and postgraduate.
Undergraduate course is more suitable for college students and fresh graduates; Postgraduate education is more suitable for college graduates with work experience.
2. Undergraduate courses
There are two ways for college students to choose: direct placement or starting from freshman year.
Direct placement: under the premise of recognizing university credits, college students can choose to transfer credits to foreign schools and "directly place classes" to study in the second or third year of undergraduate studies. This form is mainly suitable for students with three-year education and professional counterparts. Its advantage lies in its strong professional continuity, which can reduce some credits and courses and obtain an effective degree in a short time.
For example, an applicant who has a three-year college degree and applied for a related major can go to the United States for undergraduate studies, and the study period will be shortened by 1-2 years.
College students can also choose to study from freshman year.
3. Special promotion
There are also two ways to get a master's degree: preparatory course or direct master's degree.
Take the preparatory course first: For students who graduate from two-year and three-year colleges with insufficient work experience, foreign universities generally require them to take the preparatory course for half a year to one year, and they can continue to study the master's course after completing the core courses during the undergraduate period. The advantage is that there is no requirement for students' English ability in the pre-master program, and IELTS generally only requires about 5 or 5 points.
Second, the application conditions
First, the results of students in junior college prove that students who have graduated should provide graduation certificates;
The second is the proof of students' English ability, that is, TOEFL score above 79 or IELTS score above 6 and 5;
The third is financial guarantee.
First of all, if junior college students want to study in the United States, they need to have 12 credits in the school, so junior college students need to provide necessary proof of grades when registering. Moreover, you must have sufficient financial support to study in the United States. Considering the registration fee, tuition fees, living expenses and other aspects, it generally needs about 200,000 RMB per year.
However, as far as the second article is concerned, there is a big error in the requirements of TOEFL and IELTS scores in actual registration. If the above-mentioned English achievement indicators are used as the standard, it is estimated that most graduates will lose their registration qualification. After all, junior college students study in school for a relatively short time, unlike undergraduates who have more time and energy to prepare for TOEFL or IELTS.
Third, the advantages of American graduate schools
1, with high academic qualifications.
The quality of American university education is high, and American elite schools account for 60%-70% of the top 100 in the world. The school pays more attention to the cultivation of students' thinking mode and practical application ability. 70% of the Nobel Prize winners in the world work in American universities. At the same time, the academic qualifications of American universities are widely recognized all over the world. Compared with other countries' master's diplomas, American master's diplomas contain more gold.
There is a great chance to apply for a prestigious school.
Compared with high school applying for an American undergraduate course, it is very difficult to apply for a top university, such as rattan school and some top 30 schools. But at the graduate stage, it's much easier. Even now, many graduates from rattan schools and better prestigious schools are in the postgraduate application stage, which is also a good resume background for career development.
3. Rich educational resources, suitable for all kinds of students.
American colleges and universities have excellent teachers, top scientific research conditions and open learning environment. Compared with many other universities, its schools have many disciplines and projects, rich teachers, and high-quality learning facilities, laboratories and scientific research equipment.
4. Postgraduate professional categories can be selected.
Because there are many high-quality schools in the United States, it also means that different majors, whether popular or unpopular, have their own places, which can meet the pursuit and development of graduate students in different majors.
