Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Introducción del presentador: Nombre, título de empleo, sinopsis personal. Actividad rompehielo: Preguntar a la audiencia lo siguiente: ¿Qué paises están presente en la audiencia? ¿Quién puede dar ejemplos de los estudios universitarios en algunos de los paises en Latino América? Hoy vamos a repasar el sistema educativo de los Estados Unidos. También aprenderemos cuales son los sistemas de educación superior en los Estados Unidos y lo que cada sistema educativo ofrece. Primero, quisiera que respondieran la siguiente pregunta: ¿Por que deben seguir sus hijos/as sus estudios universitarios? Madurez, enriquecimiento personal Mayores y mejores opciones de trabajo Un mejor estilo de vida Etc.
  2. Ahora repasemos los títulos que el estudiante obtiene de cada institución educativa en los Estados Unidos. Comenzando con la preparatoria, al graduarse, su hijo/a recibirá un diploma de preparatoria. Si el estudiante decide ir al colegio comunitario, ahí recibirá un título de asociado. Recuerde que este paso es opcional y todo depende de las circumstancias y metas de cada estudiante. Este paso será explicado con más detalle. El estudiante puede seguir directamente a una universidad de cuatro años al graduarse de la preparatoria. El primer título que un estudiante recibe de la universidad es una Licenciatura.
  3. Pero la educación no termina ahí. El estudiante puede optar por seguir adelante. Al hacer esto, su hijo/a puede obtener una Maestría, un Doctorado u otro título profesional.
  4. Los colegios comunitarios están cerca de casa y son de bajo costo. Por lo regular, la estadia de un estudiante en un colegio comunitario es de 2 a 3 años. Un estudiante matriculado en el colegio comunitario puede obetner lo siguiente: -preparación para transferirse a una institución de cuatro años -un título de asociado -capacitación vocacional para desarrollo profesional Si el estudiante decide transferirse, el currículo que estudie tiene que ser currículo de materias transferibles. Por ejemplo, si estuvo estudiando una carrera corta, lo más probable es que tales cursos no le cuenten para poder transferirse a una universidad de cuatro años.
