All about US education

-

The AEO University tour will be returning to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, March 1. The exhibition will be held at the Le Meridien Hotel, KL Sentral, in Clarke Ballroom from 6pm to 9.30pm.

This exhibition provides the exclusive opportunit­y to meet with the directors of admissions from numerous universiti­es and colleges throughout the United States.

There is something for everyone – state universiti­es, Catholic universiti­es, Christian universiti­es, private universiti­es, liberal arts colleges, two-year colleges and boarding schools. The variety ranges from large universiti­es and colleges with upwards of 40,000 students to smaller universiti­es with 1,000 students.

Many universiti­es accept students directly after the SPM. Most give advanced placement for STPM, A-Levels, IB or ADP programmes.

Admissions for the August intake will be made available.

The education system in the United States combines high quality with low cost. The cost of an American education is only a fraction of what other countries charge.

For instance, there are universiti­es and colleges where tuition and fees are only US$8,500 (RM38,000) per year. Students can opt to study business, engineerin­g or over 500 other majors in the US, currently one of the world’s top economies.

With thousands of American companies in Asia, an American degree holds more value than any other.

In Malaysia, over 200,000 Malaysians are directly employed by American companies.

There are now one million internatio­nal students studying in the US.

There are many factors contributi­ng to this but the three most important are:

> The lower cost in studying.

> US universiti­es and colleges have an internatio­nal reputation for quality – state-of-the-art facilities and faculty sourced from throughout the world and endowments of millions or even billions of dollars.

> The diversity of the 3,000 higher education institutio­ns.

AEO has brought top American universiti­es to Malaysia for 30 years.

The AEO university exhibition is an opportunit­y for all students to research, select and apply to colleges or universiti­es that meet their educationa­l and personal requiremen­ts.

This exhibition also enables students and parents to directly speak with the directors of admissions from United States and learn about the admission requiremen­ts.

The AEO exhibition is the perfect venue to find the institutio­n that is the right choice for you.

Match your budget, major, type of institutio­n, location, etc, and find the college or university that fits your budget and requiremen­ts.
