Study in USA

Typically, the duration of these programs in the US is one year, during which you will need to achieve satisfactory grades to progress to the first year of your bachelor’s degree. The majority of these programs commence in September as the main intake. However, in certain cases, there may be multiple intakes available if your chosen foundation provider in the USA offers such provisions.

The US education system provides international students enrolled in US institutions with the opportunity to engage in co-ops, internships, part-time, and even full-time jobs. However, international students require authorisation from the relevant authorities, which can be obtained through their school’s international office or the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). There are three types of employment authorisation options available for international students, namely Curricular Practical Training (CPT), Optional Practical Training (OPT), and on-campus employment.

Here are some popular scholarship programs you can apply to study in the US as an Indian student:
1. Fulbright- Nehru Fellowships
2. Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program
3. #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship
4. IEFA
5. AAUW International Fellowships

Choosing a program and an institution in the US solely depends on your interests, academic background, and budget. To decide where to study and what to pursue, you can start by creating a list of your interests and skills and spend some time reflecting upon it. Do your research to understand which skillset or interest has a good scope professionally. Narrow down your choices accordingly and search for relevant courses and institutions. You’ll also have to take intakes of your preferred courses into consideration, because not all universities or colleges offer programs in all three intakes.

Pursuing masters in the US can be one of the best decisions of your life since it’ll not only enhance your technical skills but also give your CV an edge over others. As an Indian student with an undergrad degree, you should be ideally looking for an institution that emphasises on practical knowledge, hands-on experience and getting you job-ready.
Universities in the US place great importance on diversity, which means you’ll study with people of different ages, religions and nationalities. This provides a stimulating and rich learning environment that encourages cross-cultural understanding and networking. Since the American education system focuses on practical learning that encourages creative, independent thought and debate, it’s a favourite destination to study.
There are two main categories for graduate programs in the US – master and doctoral.
• Master’s programs in the US are available in many different areas and have two main course types, academic and professional.
• The highest degree available in the US is the doctoral degree. Students are required to produce an original piece of research in a doctoral degree. Doctoral students in the US are still required to complete coursework and written examinations rather than just focus on their research.
