Background InformationEducation in the United States The national system of formal education in the United States took shape in the 19th century. It differed from educational systems of other Western countries in three fundamental respects. First, Americans were more inclined to regardeducation as a solution to various social problems. Second, because they had this confidence in the power of education Americans provided more years of schooling for a larger percentage of the population than other countries. Third, educational institutions were primarily run by local authorities rather than by federal ones. The most notable characteristic of the American educational system is the large number of people it serves.College and Universities Colleges and universities are degree granting institutions of higher education. In the original sense of the word, a college was a group of students who gathered to share academic and residential facilities. Each college was a component part of a corporate body called a university. Today, esp. in the United States a college may be affiliated with a university or be independent. The undergraduate program generally is four years, and each year is split into two or three semesters.Degrees Students who pass the regular program of courses receive a bachelor’s degree in arts, science, commerce, engineering, education, or any of several other fields. Bachelor’s degrees in law and theology are granted to those possessing a bachelor’s degree from a college. Graduates may continue their course of study for at least one more year for a master’s degree. A master’s thesis or project may be required for a degree. The university offers doctor’s degrees and special certificates.Topic-related words or phrases:School:1. pre-school (nursery, nursery school, kindergarten)2. primary school3. high school (secondary school, middle school, vocational school)4. university (college, institute, community college)Degree: bachelor, master, doctorTeacher: assistant, lecturer, professorOthers:academic dress, academic credit, lecturer, associate professor, tenured professor, vocational education, compulsory course, visiting scholar, online learning, MBA(Master of Business Administration),MPA(Master of Public Administration), GRE(Graduate Record Examination), GMA T(Graduate Management Admission Test) TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language)IELTS(International English Language Testing System)II.
