American education provides a

program for children, beginning at the age of 6 and

continuing up to the age of 16 in some of the states, and to 18 in others.

Слайд 9Private and State Colleges and Universities
Harvard College was established in

1636, with the principal purpose of providing a literate ministry1

for colonial churches. It was a small institution, enrolling only 20 students in 1642 and 60 in 1660. It soon became more than a theological training school2 and established itself as a liberal arts college.
The next institution of higher learning established in the American colonies was the College of William and Mary, which opened in 1693 at Williamsburg, Virginia.
Other colleges were founded in the next century, but all of them remained small schools for long periods. Students entered at the age of 14 and remained until they were 18, and the curriculum, while rigidly academic and classic was by modern standards rather secondary in nature.
Private colleges and universities were established in various states. The first state university was the University of Virginia, founded in 1819.

computer. American universities have been offering classes online for a number of years. Students who have taken online classes say they like them.
One reason is because they do not have to travel to a building at a set time to listen to a professor. Professors say they have better communication with students through electronic mail notes than they do in many traditional classes.
Some colleges offer academic degrees online. One is Jones International University in Englewood, Colorado. It offers both bachelor’s degrees and master’s degrees.

about these schools and others. You can use a search

engine such as Google or Yahoo. Type “online education,” and choose from a list of schools. Each will provide information about its programs and costs.
