The first level of higher education in the USA is the undergraduate level, awarding a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) — most programmes require four years of study. Graduate education refers to Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS) or Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. Master's degrees are usually awarded after two years; the PhD is the highest academic degree and typically requires three to six years.
The USA is a very welcoming place for Indian students, home to a large Indian population across the country. Universities have international student services and student associations dedicated to and run by Indian students. Counseling centers in almost all universities help students ease into the culture, climate and routine of living abroad independently. Known as 'the land of opportunity', the USA offers immense equal opportunities for students from all walks of life.
Standardized tests — from GRE, GMAT and SAT to English-language tests like TOEFL and IELTS — are an important part of the US admissions process and must be completed before the application date.
Students are generally not eligible for employment during their first year, though on-campus work of up to 20 hours per week is permitted with school approval and can cover personal expenses. Graduates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) who meet specified requirements may apply for a 24-month extension of their post-completion OPT (Optional Practical Training), significantly boosting US employment prospects.
