THE AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

Primary school →

American children start school at the age of five. The first year at school is called kindergarten. The second year at school is considered the first year of primary school and is referred to as first grade. Primary school most commonly consists of five years, which takes them from the first through to the fifth grade.

Secondary school →

Upon completion of the fifth grade (the last year of primary school), American children advance to secondary school. Secondary school consists of a total of seven years, referred to as sixth through twelfth grades. The ninth through twelfth grades are most commonly referred to as high school. The 9th grade is the Freshman year, the 10th grade is the Sophomore year, 11th – the junior high and the 12th – the senior high.

Undergraduate school →

Students who have completed high school and would like to attend college or university must attend what is referred to as an undergraduate school. These are schools that offer either a two-year degree (called an associate degree) or a four-year degree (called a bachelors degree) in a specific course of study called a major. All students are required to select (or declare) a major by their second year at school. In a Bachelors program, the first year students are referred to as Freshmen, second year is the Sophomore, third year – the Junior year and the fourth is the Senior year.

Graduate school →

Graduate degrees in the USA are what we refer to as post graduate studies in India. Students who have obtained a bachelor’s degree can continue their education by pursuing one of two types of degrees. The first is a master’s degree. This is usually a two-year degree that is highly specialized in a specific field. Students are sometimes admitted to a master’s degree program only if they have a bachelor’s degree in a closely related field. However, there are many exceptions to this, such as with students who want to pursue a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) degree. The second is a professional degree in areas such as medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. Students who want to advance their education even further in a specific field can pursue a doctorate degree, also called a PhD. A PhD degree can take between three and six years to complete, depending on the course of study chosen, the ability of the student, and the thesis that the student has selected.
