Li: I'd
like to study abroad someday. So I looked
at the website for your college, but it doesn't
have my major.
Tom: It's just a small college, so
maybe you should look at some large universities.
Li: Do they all have attractive websites
like your college?
Tom: Of course. Most American students
use websites to help choose their colleges
these days.
Li: How could I find the best programs
in my major?
Tom: Have you looked at the national
rankings of the colleges? The programs in
some of the majors are also ranked. You could
try to find these rankings on websites too,
along with the website addresses of the colleges.
Li: How shall I start?
Tom: If you use Google, just type in
"rankings," "college programs,"
and your major. You might also try some other
phrases like "university programs"
or "academic programs" until you
succeed. Then you should ask the colleges
to send you their catalogues and application
materials.
Li: Thanks, I'll give it a try. |
