It is of special importance at this time that students in foreign countries who may be seeking educational opportunities in the United States should have accurate information as to what institutions in this country have to offer. For this reason, Dr. Samuel Paul Capen, specialist in higher education in the Bureau of Education was asked to prepare this bulletin in order to: (1) provide information on the organization of American education, with special reference to universities, colleges, and professional schools; (2) state and explain admission requirements, with special reference to the needs of foreign students; and (3) outline the general and specific opportunities to be found at American institutions of higher education. This bulletin provides information on these points and on many others of value, not only to the prospective student from foreign countries, but to all who may be interested in the present facilities for higher education in the United States. An index is included. (Contains 6 tables, 6 plates, and 93 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
