Q1. What are different tests for admission to undergraduate programmes in the United States?
The application process for undergraduate (bachelor’s degree) programmes in the United States may require one or more standardised test scores. If required, test scores along with high school GPA (grades/percentage) and other factors are considered during the admission process and decision on scholarships for undergraduate programme applications by US universities.
The types of tests accepted by US universities vary. The SAT Reasoning Test, the ACT, and AP exams are test options for undergraduate applicants. The SAT Reasoning test measures critical thinking and problem-solving abilities and includes three sections – Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, Math, and Essay. The ACT, an alternative to the SAT, measures college readiness through English, Math, and Reading sections, with an optional writing test. AP exams are application enhancers that are offered in 34 subjects. AP exams may be used by students to earn course credit hours (depending on the test scores and university policies) that in turn may help students get waivers for introductory college courses, fulfill their general education requirements, and make them eligible for upper level courses. In addition, students also have the option to take the PSAT or Practice SAT test. The PSAT helps students understand their strengths and weaknesses and experience test taking in a time-bound environment before the test. Students should make sure to check the admissions page of the selected universities before registering for a test.
Q2. What is the difference between MPA and MPP programme?
In US universities, at the graduate level, students may pursue Masters of Public Administration (MPA) or Masters in Public Policy (MPP). In an MPA programme, students develop their understanding of policy implementation, project execution, and programme management. MPA course curriculum includes subjects such as human resources, budgeting and financial processes, information systems, policy and programme formulation, implementation and evaluation, ethics, decision making and problem solving, political and legal institutions and processes, economic and social institutions, and organization and management concepts and behavior.
