Introduction:To the Foreign Student

This booklet provides you with helpful guid-ance for you to consider as you prepare. for

study in the United States. It does not providedetailed answers to questions, but is designed

rather to refet you to the most appropriatesources of information in response to yourneeds.

The different organizations detailed in this

publication can assist you in weighing the ben-

efits of an American education, in determining

what U.S. colleges and universities best meet

your needs, and. in securing other types of in-

formation you will need in order to study in this

country. The ultimate decision to study in theUnited States and the choice of schools in which

to enroll is, however, yours to make.

As you investigate the possibilities forstudy in this country, you should be aware of

the major differences between the U.S. educa-

tion system and those, of other countries. Edu-

cation in the United State's is highly decen-tralized and is primarily the responsibility' of

the individual States rather than the Federal

Government. Colleges and universities in this

country are responsible for determining theirown admissions policies and requirements and

in administering their own financial aid pro-,grams. Because of this, the U.S. Governmentdoes not directly assist foreign students insecuring admission to educational institutions

or in obtaining financial aid from them.

Nor is the UPS. Government directly in-volved in the process of rating or ranking U.S.

colleges or universities. This process of peri-

odically evaluating higher education institu-

tions to.determine if they have met and con-

tinue to meet minimum standards, known ,in

the United Statesctis accreditation, is conducted

by a variety of private local, state, regional,

and national accrediting bodies. Chapter one of

Other information sourcesinclude U.S. Government sponsored studentcounseling centers arid binational foundationsand commissions overseas. These various-of-fices can provide genercPinformation about theU.S. educational system in addition to informa-tion about specific American schools, colleges,and universities. Infortnation and guidance isalso available regarding scholarship opportu-nities, visn requirements, employment restric-tions, and -other issues of concern. Chapterseven of this booklet contains p comprehensivelist of these offices, by country.
