International.Gradschools.com Launches
New Web site provides a resource for researching overseas graduate degree programs
CHESTER, PA, November 16, 2001 -
Thanks to the strength of the American dollar and the growing demand for job candidates with international experience, the idea of attending graduate school overseas has become increasingly appealing to U.S. students and professionals.
To meet the demand for information about graduate study overseas, Gradschools.com (http://www.Gradschools.com) today announced the launch of the Internet's only resource for researching overseas graduate programs, International.Gradschools.com (http://International.Gradschools.com).
International.GradSchools.com offers U.S. students and professionals the opportunity to research over 23,500 graduate programs abroad. The site's search engine allows users to search for specific programs by subject. In addition, the new site offers international graduate programs a highly targeted way to market to U.S. students who have a profound interest in degrees from international schools.
There are many benefits to earning a graduate degree abroad. Students are able to gain much more than a classroom experience as their foreign stay immerses them in both the business and social culture of their host country. This experiential learning, combined with the academic program can create a competitive advantage in the employment market. Employers today are looking for well rounded, well-experienced candidates, especially those that are multi-lingual.
There is also a timesaving benefit; "Taught Master's" programs can award degrees in as little as 18 to 24 months. These top quality degrees are offered by some of the world's most renowned institutions, and while many overseas graduate programs are less costly than domestic programs, American students can still get guaranteed U.S. student loans to cover the cost.
"Because of today's global economy and the growing number of large employers based in Europe, Japan and other parts of the world, a master's degree earned overseas can be very helpful," says Mark Shay, president and CEO of Educational Directories Unlimited, parent company of Gradschools.com and International.Gradschools.com. "Many companies seek job candidates with international experience," he adds, "This new site fulfills a very real need for information on international graduate schools, offering everything one needs to research and select a successful program."
