I’ve been able to trust some of the teachers here more than my own parents and I feel like my voice matters. Being here makes me feel safe emotionally and physically and I’ve learned things here that I’ll carry on with me for a really long time, and a lot more than just academically.

A lot of people here definitely have very mixed opinions, but it really depends on what your values are and whether you’re actually willing to take action. Class of ’22 :)… Read 29 reviews

Education systems > Education in the USA > Universities, colleges USA
There are a huge number of institutions of higher education in the USA. One of the main distinguishing features is the presence or absence of research programs and a graduate program, which distinguishes a college from a university. College in USA is an institution of higher education that is mainly engaged in student education, and scientific work, if any, remains in the background. The vast majority of 4-year colleges are small (less than 2,000 students) and private, although in recent years state colleges have begun to appear, created for the talented students of the state. Many small colleges are religious and are sometimes referred to as bible colleges. Other colleges are often called “colleges of liberal arts” to distinguish them from “colleges” – that is, universities – in general, since the former have a liberal arts bias. Universities in the US are divided mainly into private universities and state universities (partially funded by individual state governments). Some of them are public, that is, they are supported by the federal or state government, some are private (these are the most prestigious universities), some belong to various religious denominations. A private university is self-governed, so tuition fees tend to be higher and the number of students smaller than public ones. The most famous American universities belong to the number of private universities – Harvard University, Princeton, Yale University, Columbia University, Brown University, Dartsmouth College, Cornell University of Pennsylvania, Stanford. Universities in the USA AcademConsult has entered into partnership agreements with some US universities. This gives you the opportunity to receive benefits upon admission, as well as operational terms for the consideration of documents. The presented universities provide an opportunity to get higher education in the USA at the level of bachelor’s, master’s, and also get an MBA degree in various areas. Colleges in the USAAlong with universities, AcademConsult offers admission to US colleges, where students can receive their first higher education in various specialties. College can also be a preparatory stage for admission to leading universities and universities. After graduating from a two-year college, you can automatically be enrolled without exams in the 2nd or 3rd year of the selected university. Practice shows that it is much easier to enter a top university in America this way! See also:

A university in the USA can be called differently – a school (School of Economics), a college, an institute, and a university. It is impossible to understand by the name what kind of education this educational institution provides. Therefore, in each case, it is better to find out in advance what degrees a particular university offers.

Harvard Business School Harvard Business School , criticized for not teaching graduates how to cope with an economic collapse, will analyze its activities, applying the practice that it usually uses to analyze corporations in crisis.
A task force commissioned by the dean is developing a case study to analyze whether the school is doing well in teaching students to understand and manage risk in today’s environment, said Paul Healy, co-chair of the group. The case study method is a technique that Harvard uses to analyze decisions made by leaders under pressure.
219 Harvard professors will take the case study seriously at the May 27 meeting and will be able to propose changes to the program during the discussion.
“We’ll put them in their student seats,” says Healy, a professor of business administration, in an interview.
While business school officials at Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they have developed case studies to address the causes of the crisis, Harvard is using the collapse as an opportunity for introspection. Professors will ponder how much the school’s reputation will tarnish and debate articles critical of their school and alumni that helped set off the financial crisis, Healy said.
Harvard alumni include Stanley O’Neal and John Thain, former CEOs of Merrill Lynch & Co. who held leadership positions before the New York company collapsed; Rick Wagoner, fired as CEO of General Motors Corp.; Christopher Cox, former chairman of the SEC (U.S. Securities Exchange Commission).
Brand damaged
“I’m sure the brand is damaged to some extent,” Healy, a New Zealand native, reports from his office in Boston. – People I know very well say to my face: “You guys are partly to blame,” and I think that this is fair. Now is the time to think about the right actions we need to take.”
Professors can spend half a day meeting in groups of 90 at Aldrich Hall, Healy says, adding that these plans are not final. The Aldrich building, located in the center of the campus, was built in 1965 and has rooms designed for case discussions. The school last overhauled the program in 2004, when a required course in ethics was introduced after an accounting fraud by Enron Corp.
in 2001
In 2007, before the financial crisis, business school Stanford Graduate School of Business introduced a program designed to develop critical thinking about leadership in small group classrooms instead of lectures. Dean Robert Joss May issue of Stanford Business magazine. Classes include the topic “Understanding Fraud” which looks at why people make unethical decisions.
The Yale School of Management , located in New Haven, Connecticut, launched a similar program in 2006, according to the school’s website.
At MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge, Massachusetts, students are taught to evaluate the impact of their actions on society, not just investors, according to Joanne Yates, Associate Dean.
“We would like our students to know not only quantitative tools after graduation, but also how to infiltrate the whole world of finance,” she says. “And we don’t want them all to think it’s just numbers games.”
Schools need to consider how they teach and whether students can learn to make decisions based on intuition, not just numbers, explains Louis Lataif, Dean of Business School Boston University School of Management and graduate of 1964 .
Harvard Business School.
Scarlet Letters of Shame
“There is now a certain awareness that we may be part of the problem,” says Latef. – Education means much more than learning how to calculate the balance sheet. Maybe the piece that is missing is not another ethics course, but the ability to think beyond the data and take action based on useful instincts.”
Harvard Business School degrees are now “the scarlet letters of disgrace,” wrote alumnus Philip Delves Broughton in the first column of the March issue of the Sunday Times of London: “From time to time, from scandal to scandal, it seems that the school, which graduates only 900 students a year, found itself in the thick of things.
Founded 101 years ago, Harvard Business School has 200 faculty members and nearly 1,800 MBA students.
Tyne fired
Under O’Neill, a 1978 graduate, Merrill Lynch lost more than $30 billion before it was taken over by Bank of America Corp., based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Tyne, an O’Neill follower who graduated from high school in 1979, was removed from office after spending $1.2 million to renovate his office. Detroit-based General Motors Corp. fell more than 9% in New York trading.0% from its peak under Wagoner, a 1977 graduate of Harvard Business School who quit on March 29 under pressure from US President Barack Obama.
Cox chaired the SEC from 2005 until January of this year, until the SEC went bankrupt, under his leadership investing in the Bernard Madoff scam. Cox graduated from Harvard Business School in 1977.
While the school may share a measure of responsibility for the decisions of its graduates, “there are quite a few charges that can be thrown in different directions,” according to W. Carl Kester , Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs.
The school is credited for raising Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. based in New York; Robert Kapito, President of New York investment firm BlackRock Inc. and other alumni who show leadership qualities and whose financial companies have survived, Kester said.
Errors in judgment
Many graduates involved in failure were in school 20 or 30 years ago, before classes in risk management, macroeconomics and leadership were in demand, Kester says.
“There have been curriculum changes that I hope will inoculate students who graduate in the last 5 or 10 years and beyond,” he says. “I hope they will be less prone to some errors in judgment.”
Introduced in 1925, the case-study method shows students the details of the predicaments managers face. Often there is no single right answer, and case studies are used to stimulate discussion, Kester says. The group can consider 25-30 cases per semester.
Hundreds of cases
A student can study a total of 600 cases, according to Joseph Badaracco, program manager for the MBA. Most cases stay in the curriculum for three or four years, he adds. Others, such as the 1982 Tylenol drug withdrawal case by Johnson & Johnson of New Brunswick, New Jersey, have been in use for decades.
Some companies, such as General Electric Co., based in Fairfield, Connecticut, and Google Inc., based in Mountain View, California, are very popular topics that are taught repeatedly, says he.
Harvard Business School professors write about 350 cases a year and in 2008 sold 8.2 million copies of cases to be adapted into business classes around the world, according to the school’s website. Case sales generated $29.2 million in 2008, or 6.4% of the school’s turnover, according to the annual report.
Professors have written case studies that will be taught in this year’s courses to highlight the lessons of the global crisis. Topics include the takeover of Bear Stearns Cos. by JPMorgan and the lack of accounting controls at New Century Financial Corp., an Irvine, Calif., lender to unreliable borrowers that filed for bankruptcy in April 2007. Other cases were written to spark discussion on the topic of fair-price accounting. and the role of companies with a credit rating.
Lecture Series
Jay Light, dean of the school, formed a working group in November led by Healy and Peter Tufano, professor of finance.
They were tasked with educating faculty and students about the economic shift.
The group has already created a series of seminars for professors and initiated a series of lectures for students. The school also hosted a three-day alumni program that brought together 90 former students.
In February, the group began developing a case to present to the teaching staff. The result could be a set of recommendations for Light that could be implemented within a year, Healy says.
One of the changes that could emerge is more in general management and economics classes, which bring together broad topics about risk and responsibility, rather than function-specific courses such as marketing, Healy says.
“Are there things we can work on better? he asks. – What are we teaching? It comes to mind that we teach to better understand risks, better understand risk management. We teach this, but maybe not as much as we should.”
Easy to teach
Harvard currently requires first-year MBA students to study Business, Government and International Economics and Leadership and Corporate Responsibility.
Until this year, some students and teachers were skeptical about the courses, says Laura Alfaro, who teaches international economics. “They thought it was a course to take, but it really doesn’t matter,” she says. “I don’t know if they still think the same way now, but they realize they can’t talk about it out loud. We are now in a position where it is very easy to teach this course.”

Why Russian-language schools operate mainly on the coasts of the USA
Natalia, you have been included in the 100 most influential women in Silicon Valley. As a ferryman of crops or for something else?
Natalya Venzon: I don’t think it’s possible to separate a business from a person’s personality. By profession I am a teacher, teacher of English and German. When I moved to California, I first saw a bank card, did not know the basics of the economy. My patient husband taught me how to build a business from scratch. Now we have 17 different companies, including a construction company. Only thanks to this, we were able to open the school, purchase its own building for it, renovate it, equip it with the latest technology, create a professional theater stage with light and sound, plant an orchard, which is looked after by children. Now we have children from more than 100 families.
If not for the pandemic, then exchange programs with Russian teachers and schoolchildren would already be working.
Just in time for the pandemic, the Association of Russian Schools in the USA was born. Did remote work push or was the topic of unification long overdue?
Natalya Venzon: At the annual conference of Russian schools at the Russian Cultural Center in Washington, DC, this issue arose, but there was no driving force that would unite. Rossinka became such an organizer with the support of the Coordinating Council of Organizations of Russian Compatriots in the USA.
What does the association do?
Natalya Venzon: At the first “round tables” in 2020, we decided how to go online, what platforms and programs to use, how to keep teachers, how to save our schools. After all, until March last year, say, the same Zoom was involved in the educational process by only 5-10 percent.
Have you tried to find support from the big learning platforms in Russia?
Natalya Venzon: We have signed a cooperation agreement with the Pushkin Institute (Moscow), St.
Petersburg State University offers a huge amount of resources to help teachers teaching Russian as a foreign language or working with bilingual children.
How many schools are in the Association?
Natalya Venzon: Now she unites more than 40 Russian schools all over America.
How does education in Russian work in the USA? Are there government programs?
Natalia Venzon: In the USA there is no unified educational system, each state has its own rules for public schools, and private ones can generally establish their own, subject to the requirements of the license, of course.
In large cities and conglomerates on the west and east coasts, where there are many Russian-speaking families with higher education, there are enough private kindergartens, schools, schools of additional education and circles. There is no such diversity in the central and rural areas. There are also historically established places of compact residence of Russians, including religious settlements with their own rules and traditions.
Who finances public education institutions?
Natalia Venzon: Financing directly depends on local taxes. Thus, the demands and needs of the inhabitants of certain areas influence school programs, and certain languages may appear in them as foreign languages, forming a real bilingual or immersive education. And representatives of the Russian-speaking diaspora in some states have managed to achieve this for the Russian language.
There are such schools in Portland (Oregon), Alaska (Anchorage), in California there is a Russian school in the state capital – the city of Sacramento. But the need for such programs has to be justified and defended all the time, that is, a change in the composition of the population or a budget constraint can lead to a reduction in these programs and vice versa.
Is it easier for private schools in this respect?
Natalya Venzon: Teaching programs in private schools depend on the requests of parents, so the appearance of the Russian language will not surprise anyone.
Nevertheless, there will be no single program in this case either. The criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the program is the internal tests of the school, as well as the accreditation of the program by an independent commission or an independent test at the state or country level. For example, our Rossinka School has received WASC (West Coast Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation for all of its programs and classes, which means that the school program meets the requirements of the State of California and the entire region.
For high school students (from 15 years old) there is NEWL (National Foreign Language Examination). The results of this exam are accepted for admission to many colleges and universities. Rossinka graduates will take this exam in May 2021. In addition, you can take exams conducted by the Pushkin Institute for both foreigners studying Russian and bilingual children.
Portland’s bilingual schools work closely with the University of Portland to develop their programs around state requirements.
We, in turn, are planning similar work with the departments of Slavic studies at Stanford and Berkeley.
What opportunities do Russian-speaking professionals in Silicon Valley have to teach their children their native language?
Natalya Venzon: 20 years ago, when I moved to Silicon Valley, there were two home kindergartens with Russian-speaking owners and, accordingly, the Russian language, as well as one large kindergarten with groups familiar to us. Now there are two large network kindergartens and a lot of home groups. In addition to “Rossinka”, there is a private school in San Francisco with the study of the Russian language.
Does Rossinka work like a Sunday school?
Natalia Venzon: No, we work six days a week. On weekdays, before lunch, there is a bilingual school program (that is, English and Russian – 50 to 50 in Kindergarten (as the first grade is called in the USA, which children go to when they reach the age of 5.
– Approx. ed.), then in the third grade this ratio already 90 to 10, but in the extended day group all subjects are studied in Russian.There is also a Saturday school for those who live far away and can only come once a week.
10 percent of study time at school is in Russian… And what do you expect at the end?
Natalya Venzon: Undoubtedly, 10 percent is not enough. But there are extended-day groups with full immersion in the Russian language, an intensive summer program with teachers from Russia … However, our goal is not the language as such, but the study of culture, literature, history. We want children to know their roots and be proud of them.
There is a unique situation in Silicon Valley. The largest IT companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, scientific giants and start-ups are hiring specialists from all over the world. The valley is a real melting pot of different cultures and nationalities. Intercultural children’s and adults’ festivals, fairs and events, in which Rossinki children and adults take an active part, are a way to introduce all the beauty that is in Slavic cultures.
And our annual New Year theatrical performances, which bring together hundreds of families, and not only Russian-speaking ones. We have American fans. Our philosophy and motto – mutual understanding of cultures leads to peace on Earth.
In the current situation it sounds a bit declarative…
Natalya Venzon: And I am convinced that our children will be able to negotiate better with each other than we, their parents, are now negotiating.
Clearly, people’s diplomacy and so on. But now is a pragmatic time. What is the motivation of parents who are not going to return to Russia, to strain their children also with the Russian language?
Natalya Venzon: Yes, there are children who say: “I’m an American and I don’t need a Russian.” This is a definite challenge for parents and teachers – not to convince the child that he is obliged to learn Russian, but to arouse sincere interest and love for the language and culture.
To read the classics and contemporaries in the original, to communicate freely with Russian-speaking peers and relatives.
Our “sponsors” – parents also do not need to explain that a second and even a third language is a big plus when entering a university. By the way, the personnel departments of large IT companies highly value knowledge of the Russian language, as they work with the Russian-speaking market. In the USA and in Silicon Valley, in particular, there are many immigrants not only from Russia, but from all countries – the former republics of the Soviet Union, as well as Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, where they studied Russian. Thus, a large number of children already somehow speak or understand Russian. You don’t need to learn from scratch, take it and develop it, in addition to academic lessons, you can provide powerful language support at home. In addition, parents appreciate the opportunity to study the exact sciences in Russian – lessons usually and Olympiad mathematics, physics and chemistry are very popular.
Against the backdrop of the sanctions policy, and sometimes Russophobia in the United States, presenting your Russianness, do you run the risk of becoming an outcast in society?
Natalia Venzon: Absolutely not. But here I can only speak for myself. Neither our school nor our parents have felt the ill will of the American population. On the contrary, our programs and our mission to build bridges between countries and educate global citizens are supported. For example, we receive grants from US companies, citizens and Rotary International.
Your husband, a serious American businessman, didn’t consider the opening of a Russian school a woman’s whim?
Natalya Venzon: I come from a family of hereditary teachers: my mother is a mathematics teacher, my father was a school director for many years. Even before the birth of the first child, it was decided that Russian would be the first language for our children.
The husband takes their education very seriously, as well as the education and social responsibility of the business as a whole. Therefore, the project of creating a Russian school was not my whim, but a conscious decision of the family. I headed it as the most competent person in this area. In addition, it was my dream, it added strength and enthusiasm, helped me overcome the difficulties of the first years of my life in the USA.
Opinion
Natalia Venzon lives in Silicon Valley. We often call this place Silicon Valley. How is it right anyway?
Levon Sahakyan, Associate Professor of the Department of General and Russian Linguistics at the Pushkin Institute, offered his explanation. In his opinion, it is correct – Silicon Valley: “To understand why the form “Silicon Valley” is the norm in Russian, it is worth referring to the meaning of the words: silicone is a polymer, and silicon is a crystal, a material that is used in the creation of computers and microchips In English, the words “silicon” and “silicone” differ in only one letter: silicon and silicone, respectively, the reason for the erroneous version is in an inaccurate translation.
