HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE USA
There is no national system of higher education in the United States.
Higher education is given in colleges and universities. There are over 2100
various higher educational institutions including colleges, technological
institutes and universities. The average college course of studies is 4 years. The
academic year usually has 2 terms of four and a half months each.
Students choose a major subject and in 4 years they get a traditional
Bachelor’s degree. Then the students may go on to graduate school
1
and with a
year or two of further studies get a Master’s degree. After another year or two
years of studies and research they may get a still higher degree – Doctor of
Philosophy.
The student’s progress is evaluated by means of tests, term works and
final examinations. The student’s work is given a mark, usually on a five point
scale
2
. Letters indicate the level of achievement: “A” is the highest mark and “F”
is the worst (the lowest) one.

TYPES OF UNIVERSITY DEGREES IN GREAT BRITAIN
In Britain the most usual titles for the first degrees are Bachelor of Arts
and Bachelor of Science and for the second ones are Master of Arts and Master
of Science accordingly. Doctor of Philosophy is the highest scientific degree.
After a course of studies lasting three or four years the student sits for a
final examination. The present three-year degree course in Great Britain is one
of the shortest in the world.
Throughout the Middle Ages studies in Arts were the first stage of
university education. Following this tradition Oxbridge
1
still calls the first
degree in most faculties Bachelor of Arts.
