Advising Center

The Commission’s Advising Center is part of EducationUSA, a global network of more than 450 information centers throughout the world.  Our Advising Center offers information about undergraduate and graduate level studies, professional programs and intensive English courses.  In addition to maintaining a large collection of materials from U.S. institutions, we also produce guide books that help prospective students understand the American higher education system, admissions requirements, application procedures and financial aid options.  To assist students with their preparations, we supply registration bulletins and practice materials for standardized tests, as well as reference books and writing guides for college applications.

While our primary focus is American higher education, we also offer limited information about primary and secondary education, youth exchange programs and internships.
