What financial universities are convenient for studying abroad at public expense?

Studying abroad at public expense requires the approval of the Ministry of Education, which is generally only available in colleges directly under the Ministry of Education. There is no undergraduate course for studying abroad at public expense, only graduate students and doctoral students, and you have to sign a repatriation agreement, or you will have to pay a huge penalty if you don't come. If it is not a 985 college, it is basically impossible.

1, education requirements

To apply for an undergraduate course in an American university, you must graduate from high school at least, and to apply for a master's degree, you must graduate from an undergraduate course. When applying for schools and majors, you should try your best to meet your academic qualifications, work experience and hobbies, but you can also consider changing to some special majors. For example, students majoring in English in China can transfer to the United States to study for an MBA, no matter whether you choose location hosting or other disciplines, as long as you have it in all academic fields in China, the United States has and many of them have a relatively perfect education system.

2. English requirements

American universities require students to provide English scores when applying, and the basic requirement is that the TOEFL score of undergraduate students is not less than 500. Graduate students not only require TOEFL scores above 550, but also may need to provide other related English scores, such as GRE scores of science and engineering, liberal arts and mathematics majors, GMAT scores of business majors, DAT scores of dentistry majors, MCAT scores of medical majors and LSAT scores of law majors. However, some American universities do not require GRE or GMAT scores for students applying for postgraduate courses. Excellent English scores can help students apply for scholarships at different levels.

3. Economic requirements

Due to the differences between schools and majors, the tuition fees of American universities vary greatly. Generally speaking, the tuition fee of community colleges is about $2,000 a year, while the tuition and accommodation fees of some excellent private universities are as high as $28,000 a year. American universities have 4-5 years of bachelor's degree, 0-3 years of master's degree/kloc, and 5-7 years of doctor's degree. For students applying for home schooling, the annual expenses for their spouses are about 5,000 dollars, and the expenses for their children are about 4,000 dollars each. Family medical insurance costs about $3,500-4,000 a year. For those students who want to work with student visas, American immigration laws have very strict restrictions. With the most common F- 1 visa, they can work part-time or on campus for less than 20 hours a week.

4. Visa requirements

The visa requirements for studying in the United States are relatively high. In addition to having a good academic background and professional background, whether you get a scholarship is also an important factor. Getting a scholarship from an American university can greatly increase the possibility of getting a visa.

Every aspect:

Go to a science university and choose a liberal arts major. Although the United States and China are also divided into comprehensive universities and junior colleges, basic liberal arts courses are compulsory for an undergraduate. Even in the Faculty of Science, students can still choose liberal arts as their major. For example, many social science majors of MIT and Caltech are well-known in the United States, and they all recruit doctoral students.

After entering school, it is not difficult to change majors.

Many high school students will choose their own major or at least their own direction when choosing a university or volunteering. If you find yourself "choosing the wrong major", it is not difficult to change majors under normal circumstances. Contact your counterpart department and fill out a few forms.

You can decide your major after entering the school.

Although American universities allow students to change majors after entering school, if they change majors, they must choose a new major. In many cases, most freshmen have "undecided majors", and then choose a major after entering the university. If you haven't chosen a major in junior year, it is unlikely that you will graduate in four years.

Design your own major.

American schools are "lenient and strict". If the average score of all courses fails to meet the requirements, you won't get a degree. If students are not interested in any major, they can also design their own major under the guidance of teachers. Of course, you have to have a professional plan, and you can only graduate after completing this plan.

American study abroad budget:

Due to the vast territory of the United States, the living standards in different regions are not the same, and the fees charged by private and public universities are not the same, so if you want to consider the cost of studying in the United States, you should mainly refer to the following two aspects:

I. The location of the university

Generally speaking, American cities can be divided into four grades according to the index of living (excluding extra expenses such as buying a car, traveling, telephone and entertainment):

1 refers to American megacities, such as San Francisco, new york, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami, Hawaii, Chicago and Washington. The living expenses are USD 1000 ~ 2000/ month.

The second level refers to American big cities, such as Pittsburgh, Seattle, Ladas, Atlanta, Austin, Detroit and so on. Its living expenses are 800 ~ 1000 USD/month.

The third level refers to some states in the south, midwest and southeast of the United States, such as Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Utah, Colorado, Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina. Its living expenses are 600 ~ 800 USD/month.

Level 4 Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, South Carolina, etc. Their living expenses are 450 ~ 600 USD/month.

Second, the nature of the university

The fees of public universities are generally lower than those of private universities.

The tuition fee of general private universities is about $65,438+07,000 ~ 24,000 per year, and that of public universities is about $9,000 ~ 65,438+04,000 per year.

If you want to go to graduate school, the fees are as follows:

Ordinary private universities:

The tuition fees of law schools, medical schools, business schools and engineering schools are about $22,000 to $29,000 per year.

Academy of Social Sciences, the annual tuition fee is about $65438 +08000 ~ 25000.

For the college of arts and sciences, the annual tuition fee is about $65,438+07,000 ~ 24,000.

Ordinary public universities:

The tuition fees of law schools, medical schools, business schools and engineering schools are about $65,438+03,000 ~ 20,000 per year.

Academy of Social Sciences, the annual tuition fee is about11000 ~17000 USD.

For liberal arts colleges, the tuition fee is about 9000 ~ 14000 USD per year.

Through the above figures, we can get a general idea of the cost of going to the United States for university or postgraduate study. For example, if you live in a third-tier city and study in a business school of a general public university, the annual RMB fee is about $65,438+$07,000+700×12 = $ 25,400× $8.27.

(exchange rate) = = RMB 2 10058.
