Higher Education in the USA
1. Many students, upon finishing high school, choose to continue their
education. The system of higher education includes 4 categories of institutions. The community college is financed by the local community in different professions. Tuition fees are low in these colleges, that's why about
40 per cent of all American students of higher education study at these colleges. On graduation from such colleges American students can start to
work or may transfer to four -year colleges or universities.
2. The technical training institution offers graduates to take courses
which last from six months to three-four years. Students can learn different
technical skills such as design business, computer programming, accounting,
etc.
3. The four-year college is not a part of a university. The graduates
receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS).
There are also small Art Colleges, which grant degrees in such fields as ballet, film-making and even circus performance. There are also Pedagogical
Colleges.
4. The university may contain several colleges for students who want
to receive a bachelor's degree after four years of study. There are 156 universities in the USA.
5. Any of these institutions of higher education may be either public
or private. The public institutions are financed by state. Most of the students,
about 80 per cent, study at public institutions of higher education, because
tuition fees here are much lower. Some of the best-known private universities are Harvard, Yale and Princeton. It is not easy to enter a college at a
leading university in the United States.
