Cultural Background 第五步 了解文化
美国的大学采用名副其实的学分制。学员每成功修完一门课程便得到若干学分,当考取到足够的学分便可毕业,至于毕业所需学分多少则视个别院校的规定,但一般需要120至140个学分不等。由于学分制度关系,美国大学的修业期是没有一定期限的,学员可以在三四年间取得学位资格,也可于十年内完成其大学课程。在学分制的影响下,办理入学申请手续在时间上也具有弹性,有意去美国留学的学生可以在一月、六月、七月及九月申请入读,当然,这也视各院校规而定。美国大学生是根据其考取的学分去区分身份,初入学者至考取24个学分的学员被称为Freshman , 取得25到55个学分便属于Sophomore , 56至89个学分者称为Junior , 而90个学分或以上则属于Senior 。
