Educational Terminology
There are quite a few programs available for undergraduate education in the US. The standards for admission are very high. As an example, they might ask students to have adequate preparation in their high school combined with a couple of classes at the college level to compete with the brightest of students for admission.HomeWhy USACredit SystemUndergraduate EducationBachelors DegreeMBA Admission ProcedurePart Time MBA CollegesBest B SchoolsBS Application ProcedureBS Transfer ProcessBA in USMS Application ProcedureTop Engineering CollegesAssociate DegreePhD CurriculumPhD in USADoctorate Application ProcedureBest US UniversitiesAcademic CalendarFundingVisa Application ProcedureVisa DocumentsBooking AppointmentVisa FeeConsulates ListWork Permit for Indian StudentsTips To Cut ExpensesHealth CareCultural AdjustmentsOpening a Bank AccountAccommodationEducational BackgroundIndian Student AssociationsSTD Codes A-ISTD Codes J-MSTD Codes N-RSTD Codes S-ZFederal HolidaysEducational TerminologyIn the United States, the number of years taken to complete a course is based on the credit hours and full time study.
There are two types of undergraduate courses:
- 2 Year Courses (Commonly known as an Associate Degree)
- 4 Year Courses (Commonly known as a Bachelors Degree - B.A. or B.S.)
The California Institute of Technology, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, apart from the six State Maritime Academies and the five United States Service academies (the Military, the Navy, the Air Force, the Merchant Marines, and the Coast Guard Academies) award the Bachelors Science for all subjects, including the ones for which other institutions would award a Bachelor of Arts, for example, History.
The difference in a B.S. in History awarded by these institutions and a B.A. awarded by some other institution is that their course is heavily weighted in science and engineering.
The credibility of a degree depends on the accreditation of the institution granting the degree. In the United States, a number of regional non-profit groups accredit undergraduate instruction. In addition, state and federal governments impose requirements on degree-granting institutions, typically by limiting financial support to the institution or the availability of loans to its students based upon specified standards of quality. In the United States, unaccredited degrees may not be acceptable for financial aid, civil service or other employment purposes. Criminal penalties sometimes apply should such a degree be presented in lieu of one from an accredited school. The use of unaccredited degree titles is legally restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.

Hello Girishkumar,First you have to take TOEFL. Then appear for SAT. 89 is the minimum requirement in TOEFL. Try to get at least 1700 in SAT to qualify for good US university. Gather letter of recommendation from your school. Your essay should be touching. Extra curricular activity certificates should be attached with your application form. Select a good university with the help of someone who has an experience in US education field. Keep the money ready to spend on application fees, Councillor fees and tui
