Week of March 27 2023
CLASS 2026 - 2025 - 2024
This week Wednesday we will focus on university admissions at American universities abroad, US branch campuses and joint programs. More and more US universities are establishing campuses overseas (NYU, for example, has campuses in Dubai and Shanghai) where students can earn a degree and others have "branch" campuses (for example Marist has a branch campus in Forence, Italy) where students can either earn a degree or can attend for 6 months or a year. Joint programs is where universities have partnered to award students a degree, but they attend two different universities (for example, students study for two years at Science Po in France, then finish the degree at Columbia University. See you on March 29th. Please use this link to view the complete schedule and determine when you will join me.
