How to apply to U.S. Universities?- An online course

University of Pennsylvania is offering an online course called "Applying to U.S. Universities". The 4 weeks long online course begins from 16th March 2014 onwards.

About the Course:

"It depends." That is what you'll hear when asking about the U.S. university admission process. With over 4,000 universities in the United States and no standard application system, the U.S. admission process can be confusing for everyone, but especially for students applying from other countries.

This course will help international students (non-U.S. citizens) and non-native English speakers navigate the U.S. university admission process by offering practical information about the documents and pieces that make up a U.S. university application. More importantly, admission officers will discuss how they use those pieces to decide who is accepted and who is denied, so that you can understand the process beyond the pieces.

By the end of this course, you will understand application basics that include researching schools, creating a school list, and establishing an application plan. This course will not answer all of your application questions, but it will teach you to ask the right questions of yourself and the universities. Ultimately, you will have all the information you need to start your process the right way, putting you on the path to acceptance.

Erick Hyde will be the course instructor. The course workload will be 3-6 hours/week. It will be taught in English and the subtitles will be available in English.
