Information for international students
More than 400 public colleges and universities in the United States of America are members of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). AASCU helped its members develop web pages that will answer many questions international students have about studying in America. These pages also provide contact information so that international students can talk with or write to the appropriate persons on campus. AASCU members are all accredited by recognized accreditation agencies.
Attending one of the colleges and universities that are members of AASCU provides a number of choices. AASCU schools:
- have small, medium or large student populations;
- are located in urban, suburban or rural areas;
- are comprehensive in their coverage of the various academic disciplines;
- offer baccalaureate and masters degrees;
- some offer associate degrees and others offer doctoral degrees.
AASCU members offer international students a variety of study programs in settings best suited for each student and at a very affordable price.
All colleges and universities in the United States are interested in having international students on their campus because their presence contributes to global awareness and the value of cultural diversity for all students. The colleges and universities linked to this web site have worked with AASCU to help international students find a supportive, friendly, and safe environment for study in the United States.
AASCU encourages international students who are interested in studying in America to use the services of United States Education Advisors who are located
around the world. U.S. Advising Centers can be found by checking the EducationUSA website.
Those advisors can then use this web page to help international students consider whether an AASCU college or university is right for them.
