Colleges, Universities, and Institutes in the US: The difference

US is such a country which grants degree-awarding capacity to all the educational institutions, be it a college or a university or an institute. Colleges and institutes in the states are considered to be at par with universities. The only difference that makes a ‘US college’ from a US university is that colleges are generally smaller and usually offer only undergraduate degrees, while a university is bigger in size and also offers graduate degrees. In US, an ‘institute’ usually specializes in degree programs in a group of directly related subject areas. For example, Institute of fashion, Institute of Arts and design etc.

As per a recent study on Indian students and higher education in USA, an estimated one million Indian students have been educated in the United States during the last two decades. Out of that one million, over 104,000 enrolled in the 2009-10 academic year alone.

The US also has a very stringent accreditation system in place to ensure high teaching standards. Studying in the U.S.A, will not only provide students with the opportunity to meet and even study with the leading scholars but will also give exposure to some of the most up-to-date developments in technology in the chosen field.

The Difference in Admission procedure:

Unlike in other countries, once the dean of admission is satisfied with the student’s level of English speaking, listening and writing skills they will start looking at everything about the student, including his special talents, extracurricular activities, and the service to the community. When the admission team fined that the curriculum, grades, and test range of the student match with that the colleges is looking for; the dean will look at who actually is the student behind all of those numbers. The college is interested in what the student learned from being a top test-taker, what he learned from winning the prize in arts or sports, or any chosen subjects.
