Education information

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Colleges and universities provide equal high-quality educational services in the United States. The main difference between the two types of educational institutions is the number of years of studying and the kind of degree obtained. If a student enters a 2-year college, he will eventually receive an Associate Degree and still be able to continue his Bachelor's degree.
A 4-year college education will allow the student to obtain a Bachelor of Science or Arts degree and become a certified professional.
In addition, international students can continue studying at a university and complete a Master’s degree or even higher Doctorate studies.
Admission to the university at the first stage of higher education will greatly simplify these transfers and will allow the student not to waste time adapting to the academic and linguistic environment and processing documents.

Practice shows that foreign students in the United States pay quite large amounts of money: the cost of a studying year at prestigious universities equals to at least 30 000 USD. It's worth noting that graduates of American universities have competitive advantages in the labor market and in 98% of cases they are able to find well-paid jobs during the first six months after graduation from the university.
At the same time, international students can save some money and get a scholarship – scholarship funds in the United States are huge and very developed. Students who are successful in academic, creative spheres or sports can claim scholarships (which can cover up to 100% of the cost of education).
Foreign students can also significantly reduce the cost of studying by entering community colleges. They are significantly cheaper than universities – on average a year of study in such colleges will cost around 7 000 USD – 10 000 USD. Such educational institutions also have more loyal requirements for foreign students. International students can study for two years in the community college: after obtaining the Associate Degree, a foreign student will be ready to complete another two years in a classical college or university and get a Bachelor's degree.
