General Information

Thank you for your interest in exploring higher education in the United States - it's a great place to study and learn!  Whatever your academic interest, whether you want a large, small or medium-size school, you'll find virtually unlimited options in the United States.

Academic opportunity is only one reason to consider studying in the United States.  Students here enjoy the freedoms of intellectual inquiry, political debate and open religious and artistic expression.  Attending school in the U.S. also fosters friendship and understanding among students of different countries and cultures.

Nearly all of the colleges and universities in the United States benefit from the contributions of international students, including Hondurans.  More than 565,000 students from 190 countries studied on U.S. campuses during the last academic year.
