Education
Graduate education in the United States is widely recognized as the best in the world, yet it is far from perfect and will remain in a leadership position only by continual self-examination and improvement.
American Graduate Education is a supplement of the International Student Guide and is designed for international graduate students looking for graduate study in the United States.
Graduate level study is the advanced preparation and mastery of a specialized field or discipline. It occurs within an atmosphere of intellectual and creative rigor that encourages scholarly inquiry, research and study of the evolving formulation of knowledge. Graduate education results in the candidate’s ability to shape the direction of one’s discipline, to become a leader in one’s respective profession, and to contribute to the rapidly changing global community. Graduate training provides unique educational challenges and opportunities for physiologists. As teachers and mentors, physiologists direct most aspects of graduate training.
