Chinese universities and American universities are different in many ways. First, Chinese students enroll in fewer courses each term than American students do. Second, unlike American students, Chinese students seldom live outside the campus. Instead, they live on the campus of the university. Third, most courses in Chinese universities are given by professors who lecture to their classes. In contrast, American professors often ask their students questions or allow them to form discussion groups. Fourth, Chinese professors ask students to write fewer papers than American professors do.

Higher education is given in colleges and universities. The average course is four years. Students choose their "major" and a number of "electives". Typically, an undergraduate student has to earn a number of "credits", about 120, to receive the Bachelor’s degree at the end of four years’ study. One credit usually equals one hour of class per week in a single course which lasts 10 to 16 weeks-the length of a "semester". About half of the students are awarded the Bachelor’s degree when they leave university. Then the students may go on to graduate school and with a year or two of further study get a master’s degree. After another year or two of study and research, they may get a still higher degree as doctor of philosophy. Higher education trains people to become teachers, nurses, engineers, dentists or do other professional work. Lawyers and doctors must go to school longer than four years.
