Lars: Tina, I am trying to fill out this job application and they want
to know about my educational history. It's a little confusing because I don't
understand the terminology they are
using. They are using words such as college, junior college, major, minor,
B.A., B.S., Masters and Ph.D.. I have heard these words, but I don't really
understand the system.

school. After high school, students have the choice to start working or go to
college.

Tina: In the U.S., there isn't a big difference between the two.
Colleges tend to be smaller schools and universities are usually larger schools
with more facilities
.





Lars: What are junior colleges?





Tina: Colleges and universities in the United States are extremely expensive. Even schools which are funded by the government can cost thousands of
dollars a year. Most states have created junior colleges, which are inexpensive
schools where students can complete the first two years of their education.
Afterwards, students can transfer to a normal college or university.





Lars: How long do students usually study to get their degree .





Tina: Usually, it takes four years to get a B.S. or a B.A. American

"Bachelor of Arts."





Lars: What does the expression "to major" mean?

"a minor." For example, I majored in biology and minored in Japanese.

receive a Masters, which usually requires an additional two years of study. And
