Advantages of Attending an American University

2. Improve Your Career Opportunities

Whether you ultimately want to immigrate to the United States or return to your home country, earning a degree at a university in America has the potential to expand the future career opportunities available to you.

Even if your goal is not to immigrate to the US, having the experience of studying and working in the U.S. could potentially make you a more desirable job candidate when returning to your home country, especially if you’re going to be working for a global company.

During their schooling, international students can take advantage of experiential learning, co-ops, and internships, in order to gain hands-on, real-world experience in their field of interest. Not only does this provide valuable learning opportunities, but it can help to build strong relationships with future employers, and could even convince an employer to sponsor you for a visa.

There are a number of degrees that are ‘STEM eligible’ that give international students the opportunity to stay in the U.S. for an additional two years post-graduation, beyond the standard allowance of one year, while working for a U.S.-based employer.

F-1 students with eligible science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees from Student and Exchange Visitor Program certified universities have the ability to apply for optional practical training (OPT). This STEM OPT extension allows these students to stay in the United States for an additional 24 months (for a total of 36 months) to receive practical training. This training is often paid and is related to their program of study.

3. Perfect Your English

One of the best ways to become fluent in a new language is to fully immerse yourself in it, and perfecting your English skills during your time at a U.S. university can have some valuable benefits.

If you are a non-native English speaker, refining your skills can help you gain a competitive advantage in the job market, especially if you hope to work for an international organization. Having a strong knowledge of more than one language and culture can make you a valuable asset to any organization, as it demonstrates your cross-cultural communication skills.

In most cases, students must submit proof of their English proficiency to be admitted to a degree program, often in the form of official TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE exam scores. However, those who do not meet the minimum score requirements for direct entry have options available to them. For example, Northeastern University encourages these students to apply for the Global Pathways Program, which helps to improve English language skills and prepare for the students’ program of choice. Upon successful completion of Global Pathways, students are automatically enrolled in the degree program of their choice.

4. Gain a Global Perspective

In addition to the vast array of academic and career development opportunities that international students are offered in the United States, pursuing education abroad allows for immense personal development. Studying at an American university gives students the chance to expand their global network, experience new cultures, and gain a global perspective.

Studying at an American university exposes international students to different cultures that they might not have experienced otherwise. Not only are they learning in a different language and experiencing different cultural dynamics in the classroom, but life outside of the classroom is different too.

Both inside and outside of the classroom, international students are met with the views of individuals with all different backgrounds. Being able to interact with such a wide variety of viewpoints gives you the chance to consider perspectives that you may not have been exposed to otherwise.

5. Receive World-Class Student Support

While moving to a new country can feel intimidating, international students often have access to outstanding student support from their host university. From academic and career needs to personal development, American colleges and universities strive to provide students with the resources and support they need throughout this stage of their lives.
