It is the dream of every student to graduate from an
institute that bears an exceptional reputation across the globe. Today,
more than half of the international students are inclined to pursue
their postgraduate courses in the USA. This country offers interactive
teaching, the world's best universities, cultural diversity, hands-on
experience, and excellent support services to students. With
opportunities available in abundance, the USA offers life-changing
experiences. Completing post-graduation from the USA means that you are
ready to enter the professional world and secure the best of employment
opportunities anywhere across the globe. The postgraduates of the USA
institutes end up acquiring jobs in renowned multinational/government
organizations or starting up ventures with innovative ideas, hence,
pursuing flourishing careers.
Top reasons why the United States of America is best for Post-graduation studies:
Top Ranked Universities:
The USA universities or colleges rule the global rankings. More than 25
out of the top 50 universities ranked in the Times Higher Education
belong to the USA.
Global Perspective:
The USA is home to more than 910,000 international students. It gives an
excellent opportunity for students to learn about different cultures,
and it also teaches them how to adjust to a multi-cultural environment.
Financial Support:
With the best of the universities available, the USA understands and
values every student, helping them adjust to the new country without any
problems. Considering the currency exchange rate, the cost of studying a
postgraduate course seems like an expensive option, but that's not
entirely true. USA universities and colleges offer students financial
assistance, which lessens the overall burden of educational expenses in
the USA.
Research Focused Programs:
The higher education programs in the USA are purely research-based. The
students need to submit either a research paper or a minor thesis at the
end of the course. The curriculum is designed in such a way that it
helps students to acquire essential skills along with an academic
degree. Writing a thesis at the end of the course encourages students to
have independent thinking and confidence.
Duration of Post-graduation degree in the USA:
The duration of the postgraduate degree in the USA varies from course to
course. Post-Graduation degree offered by American Universities varies
between 1- 2 years.
Different types of Master's degrees:
Academic Masters:
Academic Master's degree and traditionally taught Master's degree are
very similar. These programs emphasize one broad subject area, and then
students are asked to submit a research task and a thesis. Usually,
undergraduate students study a diverse range of subjects and pursuing
academic masters is like majoring in the subjects from undergraduate.
Academic Master's degree is similar to the UK's independent research
project, supervised by a scholar.
Professional Masters
The second type of Master's degree provides vocational skills and
technical training to the students who want to establish themselves in a
specific professional career. The Professional Master's program
curriculum is strict and includes core training, and specialist graduate
schools only offer these programs. For example, MA in Journalism is
being provided by specialist journalism schools only. In contrast, MBA
programs are offered by special business schools and Masters in Law are
offered by Law schools only.
These kinds of schools have tie-ups with top industries in the field.
The advantage of pursuing specialist professional Master's degrees is
that students can undertake internships with these tie-ups. It gives an
extra edge to the students as they get to experience the real-job
environment and a chance to work in it.
What are the application requirements for post-graduation in the USA?
Students have to complete an online application form with basic information like Contact details, marks obtained in previous academic grades, experience details if applicable.
Students have to undertake respective standardized tests. For example,
for MBA in the USA, a student must appear for GMAT; for post-graduation
in English Literature or Engineering, a student has to appear for GRE.
Along with these, students have to prove their language proficiency by
taking IELTS and TOEFL exams.
Students must write a Statement of Purpose describing why they want to
pursue a particular course and how studying in a specific institute can
benefit them. They have to outline their research interests further as
well.
Students need to provide official transcripts and academic results with 3 Recommendation letters and Curriculum Vitae.
Students are required to submit proof of funds during the admission process.
Student Visa process to pursue Post-graduation degree in the US:
Students need to apply to a university or college certified by the
Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to study in the USA. Once
accepted, the student will be given an official Acceptance Letter known
as I-20.
Documents required for a US Student Visa are as follows:
Passport valid for at least six months beyond the period of stay in the USA
Acceptance Letter (I-20) from the institute
