 THE U.S. HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM: LEVELS OF
STUDY
First Level: Undergraduate
• A student who is attending a college or university and has
not earned a bachelor’s degree.

• It typically takes about four years to earn a bachelor’s

degree.

• Prerequisite courses- first two years

Second Level: Graduate in Pursuit of a Master’s
Degree
• one to two years

• The majority of a master’s program is spent in classroom

study and a graduate student must prepare a long
research paper called a “master’s thesis” or complete a
“master’s project.”
Third Level: Graduate in Pursuit of a Doctorate
Degree
• Many graduate schools consider the attainment of a
master’s degree the first step towards earning a PhD
(doctorate).

• Other schools, students may prepare directly for a

doctorate without also earning a master’s degree.

• three years or more to earn a PhD degree

• For international students, it may take as long as five or
six years.

• For the first two years of the program most doctoral

candidates enroll in classes and seminars.

• Another year is spent conducting firsthand research and

writing a thesis or dissertation.
 Grading System

• Courses are commonly graded using percentages,

which are converted into letter grades.

• The grading system and GPA in the U.S. can be

confusing, especially for international students. The
interpretation of grades has a lot of variation.
