State Universities
State universities are founded and
subsidized by U.S. state governments, to
provide low-cost education to residents of
that state. They may also be called public
universities to distinguish them from
private institutions. Some include the words
"state university" in their title or include
a regional element such as "eastern" or
"northern." State universities tend to be
very large, with enrollments of 20,000 or
more students, and generally admit a wider
range of students than private universities.
Private
Universities
Private institutions are funded by a
combination of endowments, tuition fees,
research grants, and gifts from their
alumni. Tuition fees tend to be higher at
private universities than at state
universities, but there is no distinction
made between state and non-state residents.
Colleges with a religious affiliation and
single-sex colleges are private. In general,
private universities have enrollments of
fewer than 20,000 students, and private
colleges may have 2,000 or fewer students on
their campuses.
Community Colleges
Provides two-year associate degree
programs, usually called the associate of
arts (A.A.) or associate of science (A.S.)
degrees, as well as excellent technical and
vocational programs. Community colleges can
be public or private institutions and are
sometimes called junior colleges or two-year
colleges. A growing number of international
students are choosing to study at community
colleges. Tuition costs are often lower at
two-year than at four-year institutions, and
many have agreements to allow students on
transfer programs to move easily into the
third year of a bachelor's degree at the
local state university.
Technical and Vocational Colleges
These institutions specialize in preparing
students for entry into, or promotion
within, the world of work. They offer
certificate and other short-term programs
that train students in the theory behind a
specific vocation or technology, as well as
in how to work with the technology. Programs
usually last two years or less. There are
several thousand technical and vocational
colleges across the United States, and they
may be private or public institutions.
Graduate Study
The two graduate degrees offered in the
United States are the master's degree and
the doctoral degree; both involve a
combination of research and coursework.
Private and Public Institutions
Both public and private universities offer
degree programs. Public universities may
also be called state universities; state
universities tend to be very large with
enrollments of 20,000 or more students.
Since public universities obtain a part of
their support from the state in which they
are located, the tuition they charge is
often lower than that charged by private
institutions. In addition, public
institutions generally charge lower tuition
to state residents (those who live and pay
taxes in the state) than to students coming
from outside the state. Private institutions
are supported by student tuition, investment
income, research contracts, and private
donations. Tuition fees tend to be higher at
private universities than at state
universities, and they charge the same
tuition to all students, both state and
non-state residents. Colleges with a
religious affiliation and single-sex
colleges are private. In general, private
universities have enrollments of fewer than
20,000 students, and private colleges may
have 2,000 or fewer students on their
campuses.
US universities offer two main semester
intakes
Fall Semester (September/October): This is
the main intake and almost all programs are
offered at this time. More financial aid is
also available for this semester and as
funds are allocated for the entire year
during this time.
Spring Semester (January/February)
This is the mid-year intake. There is
limited financial assistance available for
this semester as most universities allocate
funds to projects in the fall semester Some
universities also have a summer intake
around July

for successful study in the United
States is the ability to communicate in
English. If English is not your native
language, U.S. universities and colleges
will ask you to take an English language
proficiency test before admitting you to
a degree program. Almost all
institutions require that this test be
the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL). Each college decides
for itself what score is acceptable. In
general, colleges consider a total score
of 250 or above to be excellent and a
score below 97 as inadequate.

As a part of the
application process, most American
colleges and universities require scores
