America Is Still on Top

The colleges and universities established in all states by the first Morrill Act in 1862 and the second Morrill Act in 1890 are land-grant institutions (Sherwood, 2004). The original mission of the land-grant universities institutions is “To teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic, and arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the states may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life,” (Shiplett et al., 2011, p. 84).

America is ranked 14th in education. People may ask, “Why is that?” Well america is one of the few countries that requires money for college. Not enough people make enough money to send themselves to college for the job they are going to school for.

A college degree is very crucial to the development of the national skills to match the market. However, the high cost of attaining the degree is driving many poor students from taking courses in universities. The possibility of an international student accessing equal education is the United States comes with a very high cost. For example, while a California community college student pays $46 per unit, an international student pays $250 per unit, which is very expensive and

Instead they are related to historical, institutional, cultural, and economic differences that shape and reflect the thought of ordinary citizens in the two lands. Although most data are reveal a few oddities in the structure of public opinion, German and American views on education, taken as a whole, make sense once one understands the contexts in which these views are formed. To elaborate this theme, being first discussed willing selected characteristics of the German and American educational systems, many countries have either free higher education, or extremely low tuition and grant aid that offsets it for most students. These include the usual suspects in Northern Europe (including Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden), and our friends to the south in Mexico and Brazil. That said, many countries have gone away from totally free higher education, and have instituted small student

The U.S has long been an attractor of some of the finest academics. Filled with known academic juggernauts, the best of students has always flocked the U.S. with the hope of getting the best possible education. (This is one of the factors which influenced K’s coming to the U.S. to continue his education after living in the U.K. It is worth noting that during this time, with the newly found oil wealth, a large number of Iranians came to the U.S to study. In fact, in our interview with K, he made it clear that Boston, Massachusetts was a preferred option because of the presence of a large Iranian diaspora.) At the beginning of the Iranian Revolution in 1978, there were 36,220 Iranians enrolled in U.S. universities, in one year, the number

The United States offered one of the best educations in the world. Over the years, society and politics have taken its toll on the education system. The American education system is no longer one of the more sought after system. Other countries are offering better education to people who are willing to travel. The reason? American politics and money have made its way into the education system. The cost of education in America has risen tenfold since the 1950s. Community colleges are seen by many as a means to continue education for those who aren't as committed, however community colleges across the United States have been a strong point in providing the workforce with

The university I´ll talk about is California State University Northridge. This university was founded in 1958, but before that they had a great deal of political maneuvering to ensure the four-year college. In 1952, state officials had originally identified Baldwin Hills as the site of a satellite campus for Los Angeles State College now known as Cal State Los Angeles. However, resident leaders decided to organized and successfully overturn the legislation to make sure later a four-year college would be located in the San Fernando Valley. Furthermore, December 21, 1954, proponents for a Valley with a four-year college holded 23 congressman's for dinner at the Brown Derby on Wilshire Boulevard. Prepared with populations projections to pitched the Valley as the only logical place for the next state college. Their labor worked.

There are many colleges and universities on the mission to further education and help people achieve life goals, but it is our choice to select one that will best benefit our future careers. For example the University of Massachusetts Boston, also known as UMass Boston, is well known for business school and MBA programs. UMass Boston was founded in 1964 after the Baby Boomer’s generation overwhelmed the Bay State’s only public school in Amherst. In 1863 Massachusetts Agricultural (Mass Aggie) was established in the state’s only public University, which was later turned into University of Massachusetts in 1947. In the middle of civil-right activism and political problems in 1964, University of Massachusetts rejected 8,000 applications and only

Stories - in past how people talked about outside and inside about university. What university choose to immortalize about great deal that what is value and how it perceives as great behaviour.

The author of this article compares and contrasts the education of America and China, naming China the superior education system. Dad states that the American education system is spiraling out of control due to xenophobia within the country. After 9-11, the government was concerned about foreign graduate students, causing these students to travel elsewhere for further education, such as Australian universities. This has caused a serious issue that is resulting in the elimination of programs in the schools. However, China’s education system is thriving, increasing its student capacity and upgrading facilities. The diminishing American education has allowed Asian schools to improve and receive high-achieving students.

class universities, but no one knows how to get them. Therefore, most existing definitions of a world-class university either heavily refer to the scholars’ personal experiences or vary in multiple contexts. According to the personal experiences in Brown University, Ruth Simmons (2003) points out three dimensions of a world-class university. First, the mission and the vision of the university must strictly align with the development of the local society. Second, it must ensure a high quality of academic output, which can be guaranteed by a peer-review system and high standard data-base. At last, it must support academic freedom and maintain the status of being nurture democratic (as cited in Li. 2012). Moreover, Altbach (2004) summaries four sharing characteristics from the general agreement of multiple scholars’ works: excellence in research; academic freedom and an atmosphere of intellectual

The article hints that the American academic community values or cultivates students who thrive on challenge and dismiss social risks of the past. It was not long ago, and perhaps remains today, that an education from a prestigious European school was cherished amongst pioneers of huge international business. The best and brightest will seek opportunity, challenge, and goodwill wherever the demand for such talent resides.

The term university originally meant a corporation of guild. All universities were corporations of students or teachers. Guilds were originally established to protect the interests and rights of the members. The majority of the universities practiced diverse curriculum ( a few universities did specialize in medicine or law). A new

The world undeniably becomes “smaller” and “tighter” due to the prosperity of technology and economics, by population movement, information exchange, as well as physical and virtual good trade-offs. In order to be successful when facing the opportunities and challenges in the global and informational age, it is not only helpful but even necessary to use international comparison as an effective public policy tool for administrators and policymakers in the field of Higher Education. Without using international comparison, the educational development speed and potential might be decreased, possible problems happened in other countries might be repeated in our country with large scales of cost and the whole country’s international soft strength and competitive capability might be threatened because of comparatively less competitive human capital, which is mainly produced from higher education.

In the light of Gürüz, (2008), there are hundreds of companies and sectors which are contributing effectively within the economy of the United Kingdom, and the Government of the country is providing all sorts of effectiveness and benefits to each of the sector to mobilize their effectiveness in a perfect manner (Hazenberg, Seddon and Denny, 2014).
