To be eligible to apply for a graduate level
program, you should have completed, or be about to complete,
a first academic or professional degree. In the United States
this typically takes four years of university study to complete,
giving U.S. students 16 years in total at school and university.
If your first academic degree required only three years of
study, or if you have completed only 14 or 15 years of school
and university study combined, or if your degree study involved
courses in only a single technical field, check with an educational
adviser about whether you will be eligible for admission to
graduate degree programs in the United States. Note that although
all U.S. universities follow the same general guidelines,
they may differ in the level at which they recognize a particular
degree from your country.
Graduate school applicants should also have excellent grades,
particularly in the chosen field of study. Most graduate departments
require, at a minimum, the equivalent of a U.S. "B"
grade average in undergraduate work. Staff at U.S. educational
information and advising centers will be able to tell you
the equivalent to this grade average in your own educational
system. Proven research ability or relevant work experience
also increases your chances of admission at the graduate level.
