If you are planning to study in USA be
prepared to have an experience of a lifetime.
USA is the land of opportunities, because of its cutting-edge
technology, mega bucks and for life, as you want it to be.
A US
education is like a coal mine investment which at the end yields you a high
rate of profit for many many years. USA, an ideal destination for acquiring higher
education offers a mind boggling range of universities with highly
sophisticated and enlightening educational environments. Access to
internationally renowned faculties makes them world leaders. An American
education offers phenomenally higher returns over one’s investment, not only
economically but also socially and culturally.
Dr Mary Anne Saunders -Executive Director from Kent
State University says
“USA offers a wide range of degrees which are globally recognized. Under
"liberal arts philosophy" undergraduate degrees are quite flexible
and vast number of academic options to choose from. For postgraduate and masters
programs -Top University in US provide outstanding research infrastructure and
facilities. The students get theoretical, practical and applied aspects of an
area of study. The campuses are multicultural that prepare the students to be
global citizens”.
Karan
Barabde who pursued his Masters in Mechanical Engineering passed out from
University of Southern California says “Professional guidance from
my counselor helped me make my American Dreams come true”
According
to 2012 Open Door’s Report - The number of international students at colleges
and universities in the United States increased by 6.5% to 764,495 during
the 2011/12 academic year.
Financing
a post-secondary education abroad is no easy task but fear not,as there are a
number of resources to assist you . Over 20% of non-US students receive most of
their academic funding from a US college or university through variety of
programs. Many of them offer partial scholarships or full scholarships, fee
waivers, graduate/research/teaching/student assistant scholarships etc.
International
students also have the option of taking up well-paying campus jobs, working 20
hours a week on regular term and full-time during summer vacation. On completion of the course, students have the authorization to work
for 12 months to 29 months known as OPT (Optional Practical Training) depending
on their field of study. Good job opportunities will be available to students
particularly with degrees in healthcare, teaching, business, finance, hotel
management, accounting, technology, engineering, mathematics etc. as these are
fields with great demand in a recovering economy.
Even
after this if, your vote is not cast for a US education, here is the clincher,
some
Top University in US have started accepting 15 years of education over 16
years. These universities accept 15 years for study in the field of Business,
Hotel Management, Psychology, Computer Science, etc. This not only benefits the
student by saving time but also helps them start earning early.
If
you are apprehensive that you have missed the bus, do not fret, for many
American universities are still open for admissions to their fall sessions
beginning August/September 2013. All you have to do is to prepare your
documents well. It’s a good time for starting applications for
fall 2013 (September) intake. An early application will help
students to bag most of the scholarships available, which universities offer to
lure talent and brains. It is a good time to visit your counselor to initiate
this process.
Head
to USA and harvest the best crop of the ongoing economic upswing. We
are committed to earnestly and correctly guide you at each and every step to
help you reach the destination.
