All students must maintain full-time status (12-15 for undergraduate and 9-12 for graduate) in order to comply with university policy and U.S. immigration regulations. という文章大学の授業を取るにあたって、いたるところにあり、アメリカの移民政策的にそうしないといけないことは分かるのですが、１２－１５graduate hoursっていったいなんのことをいっているのでしょうか？？

undergraduate=四年制の大学の課程 graduate＝修士・博士課程のことです。 フルタイムの学生さんは、四年制で１２－１５クレジット、修士・博士課程で９－１２クレジット以上をとることが条件になります。それ以下だと、パートタイムの学生だと見做されます。 クレジットというのは、日本で言う単位と同じです。 いらっしゃりたい大学のコースカタログをご覧になると、わかりやすいと思います。

　　　大切なことはもう＃１さんがお答えなので、これは余分です。 ＞＞ふと疑問に思ったのですが、１セメスター１２－１５クレジットでしょうか？？それとも年間ですか？？また、アメリカの大学は２セメスターとも一気に授業登録するのが一般的なのでしょうか？ 　　　　アメリカの大学には、少なくともセメスター制（１５週間ぐらい）、とクォーター制（１０週間前後）の２種があります。例えば同じユニバーシティー・オブ・カリフォルにアでも、バークレーはセメスター、UCLAは、クォーターです。 　　この移民局の規則の裏には、大学に学部で１２～１５時間、院では９～１２時間、教室に出ている、ことを義務づける、と書いておいて、遊び半分の「留学生」を特定する目的があります。 　　　　これは同時多発テロの犯人が学生という名目で入国しながら他の目的だった、などということで以前からあった規則が厳しく施行されるようになったと見ればよいと思います。 　　　　ご質問ですが、セメスター制なら４単位（２回とる）がクォーター制なら２単位（３回取る）というように調整してあります。登録は各学期です。

お礼をありがとうございました。 １セメスターに１２－１５クレジットをとりまして、２セメスター制で、年間３０クレジットをとれますから、四年間で１２０クレジットを取得して、卒業（バチュラーディグリー取得）になります。足りない分は夏休みに補ったりします。それでも四年で卒業できない学生が多いです。 登録は、セメスターごと（半年に一度）です。登録時に授業料も払い込みますので、一年分ですと莫大な金額になります。あまり難しいものばかり取らないで、息抜きのできるクラスをいくつか混ぜておくのが、コツです。 一単位は、基本的に、週に一時間クラスがある、ということですが、クラス外で三時間の勉強が必要だ、と定義されています。 留学に向けての下調べは大変でしょうが、頑張ってくださいね～。 応援しています。

    ＴＯＥＦＬのwritingの勉強用に英文を書いたのですが自分では採点できないので添削してください。 Ｑ　People attend university or college for many different reasons. Why do you think people attend college or university. A Most of my friends say `I attend university to graduate." So, I think people attend university to graduate. There are several reasons why I believe my friends are majority. First, to graduate university you have to get enough credits and nowadays the number of teachers who never give students credit without attendance is increasing. For example, one of my friend did very well on test but he could not get the credit because he rarely attend the class. Second, to get good job and high salary it is necessary for students to graduate university. If you want to become high-ranking official, you must graduate from university.There is a big difference between who graduate university and who did not on salary. This is decided by law so even if you have high ability, but did not graduate university you can not get high salary.

  • アメリカ田舎の大学の費用

    アメリカ留学でカリフォルニアの短大か田舎の４大にするか 迷っています。カリフォルニアは生活費が高いので迷っていますが、 Southern Arkansas Universityでは、 Tuition (including approximate fees) for full-time students(15 credit hours each semester):-$8340 Room and Board:-$4400 Other;medical insurance, school supplies and books:-$1760 Total for one academic year (two semesters):-$14,500 と記載され年間約150万程で通えるということですか？ 単純計算して４年間で600万です。 カリフォルニアだと授業料100万程＋生活費200万程で年間300万くらいでしょうか。この単純計算だと田舎の大学行き＋BAも取得出来て良いと思ったのですが、実際田舎の４大で寮生活だと1000万かからず行かれるのでしょうか？友達も出来るか気になります。 田舎は保守的で差別も都会より多いとききます。1000万はやはり かけれないのでどうなのかなと気になっています。

    文法だけでなくここはこう言ったほうがいいんじゃない？みたいなのもありました、どうぞ教えてください。 Education System of Two Countries It is the common objective of educational system in any countries to foster its citizens to become productive members of its society. Every country has its own education system. Two countries United States and Japan have also their own education systems. After World War II, the Japanese education system was built based on American's education system, so the education system in the United States and Japan have a lot in common fundamentally. American and Japanese educational principle is similar; however, the entrance processes are quite different. At first glance, pursuing university education of American and Japanese universities appears to be straightforward. The basic system seems to be identical. Both countries have two-year university, four-year university and technical school. Students enter college after they have graduated from high school, or simply demonstrate their ability to get higher education. Students can take any classes that they wish to take and they are free to devote most of their time to education. Both countries put from 6 years to 15 years old children under an obligation to be taken education. Even though American and Japanese university basic system seems to be identical, the entrance processes are vary significantly. In America, compared with Japanese university, it is easy to enter university. Students do not have to take the admission examination for entrance, but all students need is just submit the required documents like high school transcript. So students need to get good grade in high school. When students enter university, they are not required the good academic skills. However, it is difficult to get units and graduate from university, because they have to show their good skills in the class, so not a few students who can’t get the units and it take much time to graduate. In short, students who want to enter American university need to study hard after entering university. On the other hand, at Japanese university, it is difficult to enter university. Students have to take admission examination instead of submitting the required documents to enter. For Japanese universities, it differs from American universities in that you need to take an entrance exam for the specific university. If you pass the exam then your high school grades don’t matter at all. In short, contrary to American university, students who wish to enter Japanese university need to study hard before entering university. To conclude, while basically, American and Japanese education system are similar, the entrance processes to enter university are poles apart.

  • 海外留学のための結核検査

    海外留学先から、予防注射などの書類が届き、その中の結核の項目は以下のように書かれていました。Tuberculosis Screening: Required for International Students and Most Academic Health Programs – A Tuberculosis Skin Test by PPD or Mantoux (within the last year) is required for international students and most academic health programs. NOTE: If both PPD and MMR are given, they must be given on the same day for the PPD to be accurate or given 30 days apart. PPDs must be read between 48-72 hours of administration. The result must be listed in “mm” and indicated whether negative or positive in the space indicated. If the PPD is positive, submit a copy of the chest X-ray report done on or after PPD placement. If you do the blood test—Interferon-based Assay (QFT or Tspot)—submit a copy of the laboratory report. If the PPD is positive or the Interferon-based Assay is positive, submit a copy of the chest X-ray report. これは胸部X線画像を送るだけではクリアできないでしょうか。 どこかで（たとえば保健所など？）でツベルクリン検査を受けたうえで、画像を提出するのではどうでしょうか。ツベルクリンは、どこかで受けられるのですか？ どこかで、これをうまくクリアしていかないと、薬を飲むことになると読んだ気がするのですが。 教えてください。

The university of Wellington Science Society Department is running a scheme allowing students the opinion to kill rats - and in return providing them with free alcohol. The university provides the traps to students to help them catch the rats. Once caught, the students can head into the campus pub, The Hunters Lounge and exchange the dead rats for a beer voucher. The killing of rats was initiated by the Science Society as the rats have become a huge problem and affecting NeZealand's indigenous wildlife. They are eating lizards and even climbing trees to eat bird's eggs. They also have a competitive edge over insects such as the Weta, a native New Zealand insect which is finding it very difficult to forage for food with the rats for company.
