The largest international student population in the world, with strong research funding, optional practical training after graduation, and a wide range of scholarships and assistantships.
Bachelor's degrees typically take four years, with a liberal-arts core before you specialise in a major. Master's programmes usually run one to two years, and PhDs four to six years with coursework followed by research.
Most undergraduate applicants submit the SAT or ACT; graduate programmes commonly require the GRE or GMAT. Requirements vary widely by institution, so check each programme directly.
US applications ask for more than grades β personal statements, activity lists and recommendation letters are standard. Deadlines cluster around early November for January entry.
You need an I-20 from your university before booking an F-1 visa interview. Bring your acceptance letter, financial documents and academic records.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) lets you work during your course; Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows up to 12 months of work after graduation, extended to 24β36 months for STEM degrees.
Tuition varies enormously between public and private institutions. Merit scholarships, graduate assistantships (teaching/research roles that cover tuition plus a stipend) and need-based aid are the main funding routes.
