EAS: Study in the UK - US Undergraduate Universities in the UK

US Undergraduate in the UK
The following colleges and universities offer United States Associate (AA)'s or Bachelor (BA)'s degree programmes in the United Kingdom. The subjects offered vary from general liberal arts (traditional arts and humanities disciplines) to business-related subjects. Please note that the years at an American college are described as Freshman (first), Sophomore (second), Junior (third) and Senior (fourth).
All fees are for 2002 - 2003. A sample prospectus may be available for reference use in the US Educational Advisory Service library. Contact the institutions directly for a copy of their prospectus and/or further information.

PLEASE NOTE: Inclusion on this list does not imply approval or recognition; it is for information purposes only. Descriptions are provided by the institutions themselves.

If, at a later date, you plan to transfer from one of the following institutions to another US college/university, contact the second institution to investigate whether credits from the first college will be acceptable. Universities and colleges are free to make their own decisions when granting credit for courses taken at other institutions.

Accreditation
When considering applying to a US university or college it should be borne in mind that, with few exceptions, US and UK universities and colleges will only recognise degrees earned at US institutions which are regionally accredited. Other types of US institutional accreditation are unlikely to be recognised. Employers may also have policies as to which US universities they will recognise.

All the institutions listed below are either: a US institution with regional accreditation in the US; the overseas campus of a US institution which is accredited by a regional accrediting body in the US; or have an agreement to offer in the UK degree programmes awarded by a US regionally accredited institution.

Choosing a University
For further advice on choosing a US university consult our EAS Guide to Undergraduate Study in the US, which is also available at our office or through the post upon receipt of an A4 (large) SAE with 41p postage.

We also offer for sale a booklet especially written for the British-educated student. Undergraduate Study in the US expands on the topics discussed in our Beginner's Guide and is must-read for anyone wanting to study in the US. To receive the booklet, post us a cheque for £4.50 made payable to The Fulbright Commission with a note asking for Undergraduate Study in the US. It can also be ordered over the phone or via fax with a credit card. We regret that we do not have proper security to accept credit card payments over the Internet nor through email.
