The American education system offers two types of graduate diplomas: the Master\u2019s degree and the PhD. In order to be accepted into a graduate program, you\u2019ll need to have at least an American Bachelor\u2019s degree or its equivalent from another country. A Master\u2019s program is much more specialized than a Bachelor\u2019s. There are approximately 1,500 educational institutions in the USA that offer a wide variety of Master\u2019s programs in many different fields.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to spend some time searching for the American university that suits you best. The application process in America is very different from that in the Netherlands. Remember that it will take time, money, and effort to complete your application for an American university. It is recommended to start preparing a full year before you intend to start your studies in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The Fulbright Commission can assist you during this process. The following pages contain an overview of all the steps you need to take to successfully apply to a university. If you have any further questions about the information we offer, you can always ask our <a href=\"mailto:m.kolsteren@fulbright.nl\">Educational Adviser<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zogN4kfwiY0&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_style=&#8221;solid-icon&#8221; style=&#8221;round&#8221; icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-star-o&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Did you know&#8230;<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;graduate programs are challenging and take up a lot of time. It\u2019s not unusual to spend more than 40 hours working towards your degree as a full-time student. Students and teachers work closely together, and you are expected to actively participate during the classes.<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;most Master\u2019s programs in the US are two-year programs. Certain Master\u2019s programs, like the LLM, only require one year.<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;American PhD programs take four to six years to complete.<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;many American universities have campuses outside the US. This means that you don\u2019t have to study in America itself but still receive a degree from an American university. There is no official overview of all American universities with campuses abroad, but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaicu.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Association of American International Colleges and Universities<\/a> can give you a general idea of your options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; el_class=&#8221;.zijbar-vervolg&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar show_bg=&#8221;false&#8221; sidebar_id=&#8221;sidebar_33&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;.heading-vs-vervolg&#8221; el_id=&#8221;header-vs1&#8243;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Before starting your application, it is important to consider why you want to study in the USA, and what you wish to achieve through your studies.
