About graduation in USA - About Bachelor's degree course in USA
Bachelor's degrees in the United States are typically designed to be completed in four years of full-time study, although some programs (such as engineering or architecture) usually take five, and some universities and colleges allow ambitious students usually with the help of summer school, taking many classes each semester, and/or who have existing credit from high school Advanced Placement course exams, etc to complete them in as little as three years. Some U.S. colleges and universities have a separate academic track known as an "honors" or "scholars" program, generally offered to the top percentile of students (based on GPA), that offers more challenging courses or more individually directed seminars or research projects in lieu of the standard core curriculum. Those students are awarded the same bachelor's degree as students completing the standard curriculum.
Parents may need to consider if student is mature enough to deal with education overseas immediately after higher secondary school at the age 17-18 years. The points like homesickness or inculcation of likely bad habits to be thought about. Qualities of education and career opportunities are better during graduation education at overseas. Education at early age allows an exposure to overseas environment. When student go with lot of ambitions and dreams, he or she would stay away from the bad habits except if unfortunately negatively influenced. Job opportunities are said to be better for bachelors compared to masters. Students get continuous & longer exposure to the educational systems & research followed by job opportunities.
