Questions about one-year programs
Three excellent questions today from a myUface user about one-year programs:
- Are there any full scholarship programs for one-year study in the U.S.?
- If so, can I transfer from my current university to a U.S. university, and then return after a year’s study?
- Would a one-year program be non-degree or degree?
And answers, from us:
- In general, there are very few full scholarships for one year programs. If you are looking for a full scholarship, a one year program I would suggest you look into the Eurasia Undergraduate Program (we have some information about this program on our site or you can google it). This program offers a limited number of fully funded opportunities to study in the US for one year.
- Transfer credits. This is a generally a tricky issue from both sides. If you are hoping to study at a US university for one year, return to your home institutions and graduate with diplomas from both universities, this will likely not happen. As a very general rule, you would have to study for at least 2-3 years in a US university to be able to accrue enough credit to get a diploma.
- Almost all one year programs are non-degree. However, there are certificate programs you might look into that are roughly one year.
