The USA – the land of opportunity – is for many the main destination for a longer stay abroad.Unlimited are the possibilities indeed, but thereby correspondingly extensive, decentralized and uncoordinated. The following tips should help you to shed some light on the situation.

The universities in the USA

Central rules do not exist in the education sector. Each university decides for itself who is admitted, what is recognized and how it is taught. Unlike in Germany, the universities are not recognized by the state, but are accredited by private organizations. Accreditation is given to those who implement certain standards. Study achievements and degrees of non-certified institutions are often not accepted, so be careful! The selection of the university is therefore decisive. There are currently approx. 4500 accredited universities, 2500 of which are privately run. The latter usually have higher tuition fees, but also offer better financing options in the form of scholarships. read more
