WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA PROGRAM?

The UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA  program offers international students the opportunity to spend at least one full academic year or more in a well respected American college or university… at dramatically reduced cost and without the complications often associated with the international admissions process.

By special arrangements with a group of liberal arts colleges and universities, AACE is able to offer this wonderful opportunity for international students only. Students may select a first and second choice form the list of participating institutions, then complete a single application for submission to AACE. Accepted candidates will be fully enrolled, eligible to receive academic credit for courses successfully passed, and, with satisfactory results in the UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA program, able to continue for additional years of study, even through graduation. While tuition and fees for subsequent years will be higher and determined by participating schools, the savings during the UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA program will easily justify the experience. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

Included in the program price are application fees, all tuition, dormitory accommodation, full college meal plan, accident/health insurance, travel to the campus from the nearest domestic airport, full-year monitoring by AACE, access to our toll-free service line, course selection assistance, and management of any emergencies that might arise. NOT included are airfare, spending money, book costs, and vacation travel/food costs. 

WHAT ARE THE CHOICES?

Asiamerica assesses the background of each applicant and normally will attempt to offer a minimum of three choices for university study with partial scholarship included for all four years of study assuming the student maintains a satisfactory record from year to year. Below are some of the states in which our universities are located:

Pennsylvania, Michigan, South Dakota, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hawaii, California, New York, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, West Virginia, Connecticut, Maryland.

These partial scholarship offers represent a significant saving to the student when compared to published tuition and fees for the participating universities. Costs for subsequent years of study cannot be guaranteed at the same low levels and may increase. Credits earned in the UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA program, though, can be used toward a degree or may be transferred to other colleges and universities.

WHEN MAY APPLICATIONS BE MADE?

Students may apply for the UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA  program at any time through July 1, for enrollment in the Fall, and November 1 for the Spring semester, though applications will accepted as long as spaces remain available.
