IV. Read and translate the text. Higher education in the usa
After graduation from high school over a half of American students (at the age of 18 on the average) enter higher educational institutions. Higher education in the United States of America is provided by colleges and universities. Generally speaking, there is no great difference between these higher educational institutions. Usually, a university is larger than a college – it offers a greater variety of fields to specialize in. Moreover, a university offers special programmes of advanced studies in addition to fundamental programmes.
There are about 1900 higher educational institutions in America. The most famous universities in the USA are Harvard, Stanford and Yale.
Some of the universities are public: they receive government support from local, state or federal sources. Nearly two thirds of colleges and universities in the USA are private: they are supported by individuals, alumni or religious groups. Students must pay the tuition fees, but at public educational institutions the fees are less than at private ones. Higher education in America is getting more expensive every year. Only few American families can afford this.
Every college offers a wide range of courses and their numerous combinations. The same college may comprise the Faculty of Health Studies along with, for example, the Faculty of Engineering or Business, Law and Economics.
Most university or college courses last four years. Courses in such field as medicine may be even longer. During this period students are studying for a degree (in chemistry or economics, for example), as they usually major in some specific field (chemistry, economics, philosophy, computer science, physics etc.). Degree is the title showing qualification when a student completes a university or a college course successfully. This can be a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS).
Colleges usually offer programmes of study leading to employment or to a Bachelor’s degree. Students who major in business, management or art and design are entirely prepared for a career immediately after graduation from a college.
Universities can offer postgraduate programmes preparing students more specifically for research work. They lead to a Master’s degree – Master of Arts (MA) or Master of Science (MS), or to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) – the highest academic degree. Sometimes Master’s degree programmes are extended first degree (BA or BS) programmes. It takes two years to get a Master’s degree in any field. A PhD degree is awarded after 3 – 8 years of extensive research work.
There are also two-year junior colleges awarding the lowest associate’s degrees. They have strong links with local industry and agriculture. These colleges offer courses related to them. Students are given knowledge and skills to use right away. Many students who take such courses at night have relevant daytime jobs. Examples are schools for primary and secondary school teachers, schools for agriculture and forestry, some schools of art and nursing.
Students at American colleges and universities are called according to the year of study: freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Freshmen are the first year students, sophomores are the second year students, juniors are the third year students, seniors are the fourth year students.
