Unit 6text B Higher Education in the United States 1. In the United States, a student who has finished high school may want to continue in higher education. There are several ways to continue in higher education in the United States. There are universities, colleges, community colleges, and technical or vocational schools. Each of these kinds of higher education will be described below. Next up Home 2. A university is much larger than a college. It is larger for two reasons. First, a university in the United States usually has several different colleges in it. Each college within a university has a special subject area. There may be a college of liberal arts where humanities, social science, natural science, and mathematics are taught. There may be a college of education where students learn to be teachers. There may be a college of business where business subjects are taught. Next up Home All of these colleges may be part of one university. Sometimes, in a university, each college is called a “school”: “The School of Liberal Arts”, “The School of Business” or “The School of Education ”. Second, a university always has programs for advanced or graduate study in a variety of subjects. There may be a medical school, a law school, and other advanced programs. Next up Home 3. Students in the United States must have a high school diploma or its equivalent, to enter one of the colleges in a university. Most students have completed regular high school programs. Some older students may have the same amount of education even though they have not completed high school. These students have the equivalent of a high school degree.
