It is easy to see the appeal of the USA as a destination but there are many important issues to consider if you are thinking about studying there. Before you even get into issues of finance, visas and entry requirements it is important to appreciate just how different US higher education can be.
US Bachelor’s degrees are most often based on the concept of the liberal arts and sciences. This means that their degrees are likely to include a range of general education classes that form an integral part of every degree. Sometimes there can even be requirements that seem bizarre for British students. For example, some universities require all students to take a swimming test in order to be able to graduate! That is an unusual example but it is quite common for students to have to take classes from both the arts and sciences as part of their degree. This webinar will be focussed on helping you understand why this can be a great advantage.
In this webinar we will be joined by Adam Beals, Director of Advising at Green River College in Washington State. He has years of experience in helping international students understand the American education system and how to make it work best for them. Former GRC student, Gouresh Kamble, will also be on hand to share his experience of studying in the USA.
You will of course have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about studying in the USA and our panellists will be happy to share their experience about American higher education in general.
