For example, at the advanced stages of a degree or if you are pursuing a graduate degree, you will be able to tailor your coursework to fit your specific academic goals, needs and interest. When you choose topics for independent study for a graduate thesis or dissertation, you can emphasize ideas that are important to you, your field and your country.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: Universities in the USA pride themselves on being at the forefront of technology, research and techniques, and in making the best possible equipment and resources available to their students.

You will find ways to stay connected with researchers, teachers and experts in your field all over the world.
