Studying at college is a big decision—and one that needs to be the right one! To make the most of your college adventure, it's important that you find a program of study that you truly enjoy.

What Programs Are Offered at College?

Studying at college is a big decision—and it’s one that needs to be right! To make the most of your college journey, it’s important that you find a program you genuinely enjoy.

One of the biggest differences between applying to a Scandinavian university and an American college is how you apply. In Scandinavia, you apply directly to the specific program you’re interested in. In the U.S., however, you apply to the university itself—and once accepted, you choose from the available programs. This means you have the freedom to pick exactly what you want!

So, do all colleges offer the same programs?

No! Just like Scandinavian universities, each U.S. college chooses which programs it offers. On average, a school offers around 40–50 different programs, so there’s a wide variety to choose from. However, if you have your heart set on one very specific major, it might narrow our search significantly—not every school offers every program. That said, we’ll always do our absolute best to find a school that has the program you’re passionate about!

If you’re open to 2–3 different areas of study, our search becomes broader, and the chances of finding multiple great matches increase.

Makes sense! But most importantly, we’re always focused on finding what you want—and that’s what we’ll always aim for.

What kinds of programs can you choose from?

If we were to list every single program offered at colleges across the U.S., this blog post would be very long! So instead, we’ve chosen four randomly selected schools to give you an idea: Drexel University, Stetson University, Iowa State University, and UMass Lowell. Click each school’s name to go directly to their full list of programs.

We’ve chosen not to include degrees in healthcare or law, since those types of studies are typically better pursued in Scandinavia to be applicable at home.

Here’s a list of programs available at these four schools. Buckle up—there are many!
