I’ve heard it differs greatly from that of most other countries. | - | Мне бы хотелось получить некоторые сведения об американской системе высшего образования. Я слышал, она очень отличается от системы высшего образования большинства других стран. |
| Certainly. The first university – level degree in the United States is the Bachelor’s Degree (B.D.). Generally, the Bachelor’s Degree represents the completion of four years of university education after finishing twelve years of primary and secondary school. | - | Пожалуйста. Первая университетская степень в США – степень бакалавра. Обычно она присуждается по завершении четырех лет обучения в университете, после того, как студент в течение 12 лет обучался в начальной и, затем, средней школах. |
| Which students are called “undergraduate students”? | - | Кого называют “undergraduate students”? |
| Undergraduate students are those who are pursuing their first university degree. Most colleges and universities require them to take course work in the natural sciences, mathematics, the arts, the humanities, the social sciences, and English composition besides, their area of specialization (their major). | - | “Undergraduate students” (рус.–«студенты последнего курса») – это студенты, готовящиеся получить свою первую университетскую степень. Большинство колледжей и университетов требуют, чтобы студенты последнего курса (undergraduate students) выполняли курсовые работы в области естественных наук, математики, гуманитарных и общественных наук, а также композиции речи в дополнение к их специализации. |
| How many years does the second university – level degree – the Master’s Degree (M.D.) – require? Can everybody be admitted to master’s degree programs? | - | Сколько лет требуется для получения второй университетской степени – степени магистра? Все ли могут принять участие в обучении по программе магистра? |
| The Master’s Degree requires one or two years of advanced study in an area of specialization beyond the Bachelor’s Degree. But admission to Master’s Degree programs is available only to students who have achieved excellent records in their undergraduate programs. | - | Для получения степени магистра требуется заниматься по расширенной программе от одного до двух лет после получения степени бакалавра. Лишь студенты, которые достигли отличных результатов на последнем курсе, могут быть допущены к программе магистра. |
| The highest degree offered in the United States is the Ph.D., isn’t it? | - | Самая высокая степень в США – докторская степень (Ph.D.), не правда ли? |
| You are right. The Ph.D. is the Doctoral Degree which requires a minimum of two years of advanced study beyond the Master’s Degree. | - | Вы правы. Для получения докторской степени требуются усиленные занятия в течение минимум двух лет после получения степени магистра. |
| And which students can be admitted to these programs? | - | А какие студенты допускаются к этим программам? |
| Admission to doctoral programs is very competitive, so only those students who have demonstrated outstanding academic and research ability should apply there. | - | Участие в докторских программах конкурсное, поэтому к ним допускаются только те студенты, которые проявили выдающиеся способности к учебной и исследовательской работе |
| When must a student write and defend a thesis? | - | Когда студент должен написать и защитить диссертацию? |
| At the end of the doctoral program, a student must pass several difficult oral and written examinations in the area of specialization and only after that he (or she) writes and defends a thesis. | - | В конце докторской программы студент должен сдать несколько трудных устных и письменных экзаменов по своей специализации и лишь потом он пишет и защищает диссертацию. |
| Thank you very much for this valuable and interesting information. I see, that the system of higher education in the United States really differs greatly from the others. | - | Большое спасибо за эту ценную и интересную информацию. Я вижу, что система высшего образования в США действительно очень отличается от других. |
