HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE USA
Higher education in America is provided by colleges and universities; The main difference between a college and a university is that the latter is a collection of colleges each of which specializes in a different field.
American colleges and universities are either private or public. There are nearly 1900 institutes of higher learning in America. Roughly one-third are state institutions, 1200 are private ones. Only about half of the school children graduate from high school in America and receive a high school diploma. College is getting more and more expensive every year. Not all American families can afford universities education.
The American high school offers a wide variety of courses. In the same school a student can specialize in economics, in chemistry and physics, Latin and humanities, or in automobile mechanics. During the four-year high school program, the student studies four or five major subjects per year. In addition the students usually have classes in physical education, music and art. The first two years are a continuation of secondary education; then a student begins an intensive study of his special field. If a student fails a course, he repeats only that course and not the work of the entire year.
Students are classified as freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. A freshman is a first year student.
