Introduction:To the Foreign Student
This booklet provides you with helpful guid-ance for you to consider as you prepare. for
study in the United States. It does not providedetailed answers to questions, but is designed
rather to refet you to the most appropriatesources of information in response to yourneeds.
The different organizations detailed in this
publication can assist you in weighing the ben-
efits of an American education, in determining
what U.S. colleges and universities best meet
your needs, and. in securing other types of in-
formation you will need in order to study in this
country. The ultimate decision to study in theUnited States and the choice of schools in which
to enroll is, however, yours to make.
As you investigate the possibilities forstudy in this country, you should be aware of
the major differences between the U.S. educa-
tion system and those, of other countries. Edu-
cation in the United State's is highly decen-tralized and is primarily the responsibility' of
the individual States rather than the Federal
Government. Colleges and universities in this
country are responsible for determining theirown admissions policies and requirements and
in administering their own financial aid pro-,grams. Because of this, the U.S. Governmentdoes not directly assist foreign students insecuring admission to educational institutions
or in obtaining financial aid from them.
Nor is the UPS. Government directly in-volved in the process of rating or ranking U.S.
colleges or universities. This process of peri-
odically evaluating higher education institu-
tions to.determine if they have met and con-
tinue to meet minimum standards, known ,in
the United Statesctis accreditation, is conducted
by a variety of private local, state, regional,
and national accrediting bodies. Chapter one of

Infortnation and guidance isalso available regarding scholarship opportu-nities, visn requirements, employment restric-tions, and -other issues of concern. Chapterseven of this booklet contains p comprehensivelist of these offices, by country.
