The system of USA education starts with twelve years of primary and secondary school

education which the Americans have to follow. A secondary school ("high school")

diploma or certificate is a compulsory requirement for the student to be able to enter

college, university, vocational, secretarial or other professional and technical schools.

American children who are around six years of age normally begin their learning at a

primary school. It takes from five to six years to complete the primary schooling. After

finishing the primary schooling, students will have to enter a secondary school where

they may spend 6 or 7 year durations consisting of either two three- year programs, or a

three-year and a four-year program. Schools at this level are known as Middle School or

Junior High School and High or Senior High School

Completion of this stage is called Twelfth Grade. International students are advised to find out

which level of education in their country corresponding to the twelfth grade in the U.S.A.

After completing the twelfth grade, students are admitted to college or university for

higher education. Study at a college or university leading to the Bachelor's Degree is known

as "undergraduate" education. Study beyond the Bachelor's Degree is known as "graduate"

school, or "postgraduate" education. Advanced or graduate degrees include law, medicine,

M.B.A. (Master), and Ph.D.(doctorate) etc.

education than any other country. There are more than 3800 colleges and universities

imparting degree programs. The size of US. higher educational institutions varies greatly,

too, from colleges that enroll fewer than 1,000 students to large universities that enroll
