What are the requirements to study in the USA?

Qualifications

Proof of secondary school completion is necessary for US university admission. If a university doesn’t believe you meet the requirements necessary they may offer you a pathway program. This means completing an English language course or associate degree before moving to your chosen degree.

English language tests

If you’re wanting to study in the US then take a TOEFL iBT test, as this is the most popular method of academic language testing in the US.

USA student visa

You’ll need an F1 student visa to study as an international student in the US.

Although your student visa is for a full time undergraduate or postgraduate degree, you generally won’t be able to work during your time as a student. In some cases work on campus may be granted, but you shouldn’t rely on this possibility.

What's it like to study in the USA

The economics major was rigorous and challenging. I learned how to think like an economist and write with confidence. Even though the course material was tough, the profs made it feel effortless - economics Jeopardy anyone? I received one-on-one attention from my advisor as I worked on two honors independent studies, and later through senior seminar. All profs had an open door policy that gave us easy access to them whenever we needed them. You bring your energy and curiosity and Salem will provide the environment and tools needed for success. I developed an appreciation for the natural connection economics shares with math, which became my minor. The combination of economics and math prepared me to earn my PhD in economics at Cornell.

Broward College provides a variety of education programs in which students can select the major that they are prefer. I have gain a lot of knowledge and skills from my program as an international student. I have had chances to learn lectures from leaders of big U.S Corporations. From that, I have a big picture of how business and operations work.
