A message from Marten RoordaStudents, Parents, and Friends,

Wherever they work, ACT staff members vigorously pursue our organizations mission of Helping people achieve education and workplace success.

AES concentrates on supporting student and institutional participation in the Global Assessment Certificate program (GAC), and a suite of English Language Programs (ELPs). The GAC is a competency and skills based university preparation program which is taught and evaluated in English. It is currently available at high schools, universities, and private colleges in nine countries. GAC students have gone on to graduate from universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.

The Global Assessment Certificate program

The GAC really fulfilled my dream of going abroad. During my study in the GAC I gained practical skills, like how to communicate, how to design a PowerPoint, how to deliver a speech, how to catch up with key points in a particular lecture or an article, how to prepare for an interview and how to write a resume, all of which familiarized me with the teaching and learning methods in Western countries.

Gradually, I began to get used to the way of learning in Western countries ... thinking and communicating in English, doing role plays and giving speeches in English. The GAC offered me a chance to study, to improve my English, to experience the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and to adapt to the environment of studying abroad in advance.

What is more, it equipped me with the skills to live and study in a foreign country and to overcome the obstacles on the road of studying abroad.Yuchen LiGAC Graduate from Tangshan Foreign Language School, China

The Global Assessment Certificate program (GAC) is a university preparation program that provides students with the academic knowledge, skills, and confidence to enter and successfully complete a bachelors degree at one of many selected universities. GAC graduates can apply for admission to more than 110 postsecondary institutions Pathway Universities in the United States, Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Some Pathway Universities offer credit points for an undergraduate degree, and a number of them offer scholarships which can significantly reduce tuition and living expenses.

All students who complete the GAC are eligible to take The ACT, a multiple-choice test that covers four areas of study: English, Mathematics, Reading and Science, and an optional test of Writing. This test is used extensively by universities and colleges in the United States to determine undergraduate entry. The GAC is the only international university preparation program that includes preparation for The ACT as part of its curriculum.

The GAC consists of three levels of study, and a fast track option is available for students with additional prior learning. The core program consists of English,

With more than 4,500 accredited higher education institutions in the United States, the

options are almost limitless.

Study in the United States

The United States is one of the most exciting places to study in the world. Here you will encounter leading technology, world-class professors, cutting-edge subjects and students from around the world. According to the Institute of International Educa-tions Open Doors 2016, the number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States topped one million for the first time in 2016, confirming that the United States remains the most popular global destination for higher education.

Colleges and universities in the United States range in size from less than 1,000 to more than 50,000 students. There are three main types of in-stitutions colleges, universities and institutes. The terms school, college, and university are used interchangeably in the United States. Both state and private universities offer undergraduate (or bach-elors) and graduate degrees.

Colleges are usually smaller than universities and offer only undergraduate degrees. Institutes tend to specialize in vocational skill areas such as fashion, art and design or technology. There are also commu-nity colleges that offer two-year associate degrees at a lower cost than university study. It is possible to transfer to the third year of a bachelor degree at a state university from community colleges. Education USA recommends starting to research your choice of college or university 18 months before commence-ment to allow plenty of time to decide on the most suitable option for you.

Most universities and colleges are coeducational, but single sex institutions are available as well. Choic-es include liberal arts colleges that focus on broad preparation in academic disciplines, and schools that provide professional, career-related training. Bachelor degrees take four years to complete. In the first two years there is an emphasis on a broad, well-

rounded education. You will be offered a wide range of classesmathematics, science, the arts, social sci-ence, and languagesbefore you begin your spe-cialization in your third and fourth years. In the first year you will be known as a freshman; in the second, a sophomore; in the third, a junior; and in the fourth, a senior. As an international student, you will be ex-pected to study full-time.

A key factor in choosing a college or university in the United States is location. The east coast and west coast are popular destinations with very different cultures and lifestyles. The midwest and northeast are home to many quality educational institutions if you dont mind cold, snowy winters. Many universi-ties are located in small towns rather than large cities and students who prefer an exciting urban lifestyle should choose carefully.

Cost may be a major factor in deciding which college to attend. The average cost for students liv-ing on campus at four-year undergraduate colleges is varied. You must consider living expenses during holidays, including the summer break, and round-trip transportation from your home country.

It is a good idea to investigate sources of financial aid in your own country as well as those in the United States. Keep in mind that application deadlines for scholarships and other financial aid programs may close long before your planned date of enrolment.

Contact an advising center, the US embassy, or other organizations about financial aid as soon as possible.
