Why Choose the USA for Your Studies?

The United States of America remains one of the most sought-after destinations for international students — offering unmatched academic excellence, career opportunities, and global recognition.

World-Leading Education

The USA is home to over 50 of the world’s top 100 universities (QS 2025), including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and many top public universities like UCLA and the University of Michigan.

Example: A Nepali student pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science at Arizona State University gets access to cutting-edge research labs and internship opportunities with top tech companies.

Career-Oriented Programs with Optional Practical Training (OPT)

International students on an F-1 visa can work in the U.S. for up to:

  • 12 months of OPT after graduation
  • 24 additional months (STEM Extension) for students in science, technology, engineering, or math.

Example: A student in IT or Data Science can stay in the U.S. for up to 3 years on OPT and build work experience with leading global firms.

Diverse and Inclusive Environment
The U.S. hosts over 1 million international students from across the globe. It offers a safe, multicultural society where students experience both academic and personal growth.

Flexible Education System
Students can choose from thousands of courses and even change majors mid-degree. The U.S. system supports exploration and innovation.

Scholarships & Financial Aid
Many U.S. universities offer scholarships, assistantships, and on-campus jobs to international students, helping reduce the cost of education.

Example: University of Texas and Kent State offer merit-based scholarships for international undergraduates.

Pathway to H-1B and Beyond
Graduates with U.S. degrees are eligible to apply for the H-1B Work Visa, which can lead to long-term stay or even permanent residency.

In 2025, students with U.S. Master’s degrees have a higher chance in the H-1B lottery system.

We at Zen International guide you through this entire process safely and legally.
