  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.....
