1. Why choose a path with Salem International University through
Informatics?
· Listed in US News 2001 Best Colleges
· Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central
Association (NCA) of Colleges and Schools
· Taught by knowledgeable faculty members; 78% of faculty members have
doctorate degrees.
· Options for internship opportunities in the USA readily available
· More individual attention for each student as student to faculty ratio
is 14:1
· Experience an enriching campus life that is unique. Learn whitewater
rafting, horse-riding, skiing, go for cultural and historic visits in
Washington DC, Clarksburg, Morgantown
· A well-rounded education based on an American Education System
· Progressive attainment of qualifications upon completion of each
level: Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Associate Degree and Degree
· Complete the degree programme without leaving the country and enjoy
the value added feature of e-learning facilities
· More competitive pricing in comparison with other three-year degree
programmes
· Flexible modular system, where students study one module a month for
18 days with 2 rest days. This is suitable for international students,
with student enrolment on a monthly basis and tailored for students to
obtain an in depth understanding of each module
2. What is so unique about US Education?
· Focuses on exposing students to a variety of perspectives, the latest
technology and state-of-the-art research and training
· Includes "Liberal Arts" (General Education) which are subjects that
range from Humanities, Philosophy, Sociology and more which helps to
develop the creative, thinking and analytical skills of students
towards a well-rounded education
· US Colleges and universities are known throughout the world for their
academic excellence. Examples: Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, MIT etc.
· American institutions of higher education serve student populations
that are becoming increasingly diverse in terms of race, ethnicity,
and age. Today, over 27 percent of undergraduate college students are
members of minority groups. Such enrolments enrich campus environments
and the educational experiences of all students.
3. How relevant and important are the "General Education" components?
The first two years of the degree program provides students with the
General Education components. The underlying for the American system
is to "mould" their graduates to be not just "experts" in their
specialization but also aware of their surroundings/world/society. US
Education believes in producing graduates who are well rounded and are
equipped with the skills to operate successfully in most work
environments. The General Education components teach students
application and analytical skills.
4. There are more than 4,000 public and private colleges and universities
in the US. How does one know if a University is recognized?
It is not the responsibility of the US government to recognize
universities. Instead schools undergo a process of review called
"accreditation". If a school is regionally accredited, you can be sure
that it has reached a minimum level of quality.
There are 6 regional accrediting bodies in US. They are:
· North Central Association of Colleges & Schools
· Middle States Associate of Colleges & Schools
· New England Associate of Colleges & Schools
· Northwest Association of Colleges & Schools
· Southern Association of Colleges & Schools
· Western Association of Colleges & Schools
The North Central Association of Colleges & Schools accredits Salem
International University.
5. The US education offers an all-round education but employers are
looking at specialized skills so why choose an all-round education
when the chances of getting employment later will be slim unless the
student decide to stay in US?
Globalization has been emphasized to a greater extent in this
knowledge-era and economy, as more and more companies are extending
their operations beyond local boundaries. Many companies have
recognized this and are placing more emphasis on employees who display
better adaptability to location changes.
Under the US education system, which promotes creativity and thinking,
the US graduate has a broader perspective and develops a better
appreciation of world issues and differences. The language, skills and
cross-culture environment can make the US learning experience a unique
and rich one, making the US graduate one who is better prepared for
successfully working in many locations around the world.
Take the first step towards gaining the full benefits of an American
Education through Salem International University today!
