The
courses that are offered by universities in United States and that are popular
among International Students.
If
you're currently pondering on subject to chose as your major or even if you're
just curious about what tomorrow's global job applicants are majoring in today,
here's a top 10 list of course options in USA for you.
Business
Administration and Management
This
major offers training in accounting, finance, marketing, economics, human
resources, and decision-making. You'll learn to budget, organize, plan, hire,
direct, control, and manage an organization. You'll find more chances for
career growth if you go on to earn your MBA.
Psychology
Psychology
is the study of the way humans and animals interact and respond to their
environment. In essence, it's the study of behaviour and the thoughts behind
it. Just don't expect that four years of college will get you a private
practice where people lie on a couch and tell you their troubles for $95/hour.
You'll need an extra five to seven years of schooling and a PhD before that
will happen.
Elementary
education
From
tracing a little hand on coloured paper to help in making cookies and to taking
a field trip to the local science center with your fourth-graders to learn
about static electricity, you are excited about working in a grade school and
shaping young minds before they develop the attitude. Some college programmes
offer an area of specialization, such as early childhood, language arts, or
mathematics.
Biology
Biology
majors focus on the living world--that's everything from single-cell bacteria
to whales. You may take classes in which you learn about calculus,
microbiology, cell biology, genetics, evolution, physics, and organic
chemistry. In addition to being a stepping-stone for medical school, biology
major can lead to a job in the field such as genetics, biotechnology, or
medical research. Veterinarians, optometrists, ecologists, biochemists, and
environmentalists all may have majored in biology.
Nursing
Generally,
nurses help people meet basic health needs, adapt to physical changes, recover
from illness, and die with dignity. They are employed in clinics, hospitals,
schools, corporations, the military, and in private practice. We need nurses
now more that ever and job prospects in this field are bright. If you major in
nursing, you'll take traditional science and liberal arts courses as a
first-year student and probably begin clinical rotations at hospitals and other
health care facilities during the second semester of your sophomore year.
Education
Although
much of your coursework will be general education material, most laces require
you to choose a specific grade level you'd like to teach. Choices usually
include some variation of early childhood education (Preschool), primary
education (kinder-garden through twelfth grade). Some education majors choose
to specialize in special education. Your student teaching experience, in which
you spend a semester or more in gaining practical experience in a classroom,
will be in the field of your choice.
English
You'll
find English majors in countless types of jobs. Many of them are
communications-based careers as you'd expect-author, reporter, journalist,
editor, radio broadcaster, advertising and public relations executives--but
plenty of them aren't that obvious. English majors also become teachers,
lawyers (after law school, of course), film directors, politicians, actors, you
name it. English majors become well-rounded, well-read individuals who have
studies life in words across the globe.
Communications
In this
programme, students learn how certain messages influence individual and group
behaviour. You'll spend a significant amount of time studying different kinds
of speaking and writing and strategies people use to make their points. You'll
take a look at verbal and nonverbal messages, audience reaction, and the varied
effects of different communication environments. Communication theory will play
a part too, as you delve into speeches, revolutionary political campaigns,
radical social movements, and the trends in news reporting. With your degree,
you may choose to pursue a career in business, public relations, advertising,
human resources, government, education, media, or social services.
Computer
Science
Your
friends are always coming to you for help when they experience computer
problems, and you know it's high time you got paid for your efforts. Solution:
obtain a degree in Computer Science. In this programme, you'll focus on how
computer technology can be applied to any number of fields.
Included
will be classes on how to develop business applications, perform system
analysis, and the process of developing software (from designing to programming
to testing). Programmes may also include instruction in robotics, natural
language recognition programmes, artificial intelligence, programming languages
and numerical analysis. The knowledge you gain from a Computer Science major is
absolutely applicable to the real world, and to real jobs within it.
