Study In The USA! by Cheryl Darrup Boychuck
|
Cheryl
is President and CEO of the |
U.S.
Journal of Academics |
|
Have you ever dreamed of studying in the USA?
|
If you
answered "yes," you are not alone. More than
4,200 students from Singapore studied in the States during
the 1999-2000 academic year. And that figure continues to
rise, as more people recognize the value of a truly
"global" perspective.
|
Supplying
the Demand: Academic experts credit the internet for
students' increased access to alternatives in the
"Land of Opportunity" -- The United States of
America. And U.S. colleges and universities are responding
to overseas demand, with more specialized courses designed
to ease the
transition of an international student into campus life in
the States. For example, many schools now offer summer
courses, internships or short-term certificate programs,
so the international student can "test the
waters" on
campus before committing to a full, four-year degree
program.
|
Info
Overload: But more academic options, coupled with
easier access to information, do not always translate into
simple decisions. Many Singaporean students -- and their
counterparts around the world -- admit that they get
overwhelmed with "too much information" about
how to study in the USA. One particular website, the U.S.
Journal of Academics at http://www.usjournal.com,
simplifies the process.
|
A
Simpler System: If you know your "academic
direction," but need help in figuring out exactly how
to get there, visit http://www.usjournal.com/_programs/show.en.html.
There you will find four simple questions about your
preferences for Academic Level, Field of Study, Financial
Support, and U.S. Geographic Region. After you click the
"Results" button, you will be presented with a
list of U.S. campuses the specifically seek to welcome
Singaporean students like you. Learn more about each
campus via their links, and inquire directly to
international admissions counselors on those particular
campuses. More.....
