USA

Studying at a university in America is a dream for many students. There are two main methods to pursue undergraduate education: applying directly to a four-year university or enrolling in a two-year Community College and later completing the third and fourth years at the desired university. In both cases, you can ultimately obtain a bachelor's degree from a four-year university.

Community Colleges in America are one of the most commonly preferred starting points for higher education. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, applying to and getting accepted into Community Colleges is generally easier and less stressful compared to four-year universities. Often, a high TOEFL score or taking the SAT exam is not required. Secondly, Community Colleges are a more economical option. Spending the first year at these schools can result in significant cost savings. Thirdly, students graduating from two-year Community Colleges are often directly admitted to four-year universities in America, allowing them to continue their education seamlessly and benefit from having two diplomas.

If you prefer direct admission to a four-year university, you need to pass two exams: TOEFL and SAT. The scores you achieve in these exams and your high school grade point average play a crucial role in the acceptance process of the university you are applying to. If your English proficiency is not sufficient for the TOEFL and SAT exams, you may need to address your shortcomings by attending a university preparation program. At this stage, ELT provides excellent support in collaboration with two of the strongest organizations in America.

Reasons for Pursuing University Education in America

Deciding where to receive education is as critical as considering studying abroad. American universities offer significant advantages and skills that you will carry throughout your life. There are many benefits to obtaining university education in America, and carefully reviewing these advantages is essential in shaping your decision.

No need to stress about university entrance exams! To study at a university in America, there is no requirement to pass the university entrance exam in Turkey. You can apply to universities based on your high school diploma and grades. Instead of preparing for the university entrance exam, preparing yourself for education at an American university by completing language education and other academic preparations will be easier and more reasonable.

You can obtain YÖK (Council of Higher Education) equivalence for education in your desired field in USA. If you were unable to enroll in the ideal department or university according to the results of the university entrance exams (YGS and LYS) in Turkey, there is no need to worry. American universities do not require placement into a department based on the results of the university entrance exams in Turkey. Only your high school diploma is sufficient. Regardless of the type of high school you graduated from, even if you graduated from a vocational high school or an Imam Hatip high school, you can receive education in your desired field at American universities. Diplomas from American universities are recognized by YÖK, and equivalence is granted.

You will receive education at prestigious and renowned universities worldwide in America. When you look at world university rankings, you will often see American universities at the top and leading in various categories. American universities are among the best in the world in criteria such as prestige, quality, productivity, and international recognition. You will feel the advantages and privileges of having obtained university education in America throughout your life.

High-level career opportunities await you both in Turkey and abroad. With a diploma from an American university, you can build a distinguished, respected career that is globally preferred and stands out. Many individuals with a university diploma from America hold positions and build careers in leading global companies.

American universities are more advantageous than foundation universities. We can say that studying at a foundation university or having that university's diploma generally does not give you an advantage, and it does not go beyond being an ordinary university graduate. With the fees you would pay at foundation universities in Turkey, you can receive education in America and aim for a larger, more prestigious career both in Turkey and abroad.

Cultural enrichment and individual development advantages: American universities not only provide you with a good education and a diploma but also allow you to experience a period of strong cultural development and gaining self-confidence. Being part of a multicultural international community allows you to gain a broad vision, communicate easily with other cultures and nations, and helps you integrate globally.

You will live in America! The USA is the land of opportunities and dreams. By spending your university years in America, you can directly experience the American way of life. You can visit world-famous states and cities, create unforgettable memories, and make friendships. The experience of university life in the USA will give you the ability to integrate into life worldwide.

There are more than 3,000 universities in America, and there can be significant differences in fees. However, with a general estimate, we can say that the annual cost of education at a standard university is between 10,000 - 18,000 USD. In community colleges, this figure can range from 5,000 - 10,000 USD.
