Studying in the USA

EducationUSA advising centers belong to a worldwide network of educational advising centers affiliated with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and strive to provide accurate, comprehensive, current, and unbiased information on educational opportunities in the United States.

We do not endorse or rank any college or university, nor do we endorse services provided by any company or organization in the areas of test preparation, admissions, placement, language training or visa procurement.

Where to get information on studying in the USA

People who live near an EducationUSA Advising Center are encouraged to visit those centers to undertake their own research about study opportunities in the United States. These centers are free to anyone who wants to use them and have up-to-date and comprehensive information.

Admission test information and Registration Bulletins are available from all Advising centers; a small postage and handling fee will be charged if you wish to have materials posted to you.
