About CNA-USA

Organization Information

In 2009-2010, a distinguished group of selected American colleges and universities formed an extraordinary partnership with a selected group of Chinese Senior Middle Schools.

 

Together the group of Chinese schools and American colleges is known as CNA-USA (China America University-School Alliance). The CNA-USA logo above symbolizes the strong link between the great countries of China and America. As a student you are part of this alliance and CNA-USA is your direct link to an American education. The CNA-USA alliance is unlike anything else in China. Through CNA-USA Chinese students from selected CNA-USA senior middle schools have a unique opportunity to receive their college education in a premier American college or university.

the CNA-USA Mission

 

To make the dream of an American education come true for students from China 
President Obama, in announcing his hope that over the next four years there will be 100,000 American college students studying in China, said this was part of the "clear commitment to build ties among our people in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world."

 

This idea is the foundation of the CNA-USA alliance of selected Chinese Senior Middle Schools and selected American colleges and universities. Through CNA-USA you can be part of this important exchange of students among our two great countries. And the CNA-USA institutions offer you superb examples of the tremendous variation within American higher education. Though each has its strengths and distinctions, in common they all share the commitment to excellence that characterizes American colleges and universities.

 

Great colleges and universities. Tremendous opportunity for individual choice 
There are about 2,500 American colleges and universities that offer the four year, Bachelor's degree. Within this group, about 650 are public (state government supported) and about 1,500 private colleges and universities. The public universities are generally larger than the privates, though private colleges can be large. However, most of the small colleges in America are private. The CNA-USA alliance has both public and private colleges and universities available to you.

Large colleges and universities, whether public or private, have tremendous advantages that are not available to small colleges. Conversely, small colleges offer benefits (e.g. small classes, individual attention) that large universities may not be able to provide. The CNA-USA alliance has both large and small colleges and universities.

 

American students choose their college for many reasons. You should too 
One of the most important reasons American students select a particular college is their belief that it has the best program (major) in which they are interested. Whereas another college is better known overall, a less renowned college has a much better program of study in the student's particular major. Also, often the other college's reputation and name recognition is a result of its outstanding graduate level programs, not its undergraduate programs. It is very important to understand how many great universities and colleges there are in America, though some are better known than others. The main thing to keep in mind is that you want the college that best fits your interests and needs. The CNA-USA alliance colleges and universities all have outstanding undergraduate programs.

 

It is really a matter of personal choice 
America is a country of openness, freedom and opportunity. That is how you should think about going to college in America. You are free to choose. You can choose what you want to study, where to study it. You can choose from a large list of other factors, such as what special opportunities the college offers, what out of classroom activities are available, and even what the temperature is likely to be!

The CNA-USA colleges and universities provide you hundreds of choices to think about! But they all share in common what is most important: an academic experience of the highest quality. Schools admitted to the CNA-USA alliance all meet the standard of excellence expected of an American college or university.

The profiles of each of the selected CNA-USA colleges and universities is the place to start your search. Then go to the web sites of all the CNA-USA institutions for in-depth information.
