Studying in Micronesia

Hello everyone,

Would you recommend studying abroad in Micronesia?

Every year, 4 million young people from all over the world choose to study abroad for one semester or a full academic year. Would you encourage them to come and study in Micronesia?

In your opinion, what are the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country/area? Are these free of charge? If not, are tuition fees expensive? Are there many foreign students enrolled in these schools/colleges/universities? What is the main language of instruction at the university?

Thank you in advance for sharing!

Given its reduced size, both in terms of surface and population, the Federated States of Micronesia does not offer too many opportunities to foreigners looking for study programmes. There is one college currently operating in the nation, but higher education options are limited.

There are, however, quite a few summer study programmes focused on marine biology. Those interested could spend a summer immersing themselves in oceanography or studying the local flora and fauna. While they're at it, they can also enjoy scuba diving classes, which are quite popular in the region. The good news is that all courses are held in English, which is Micronesia's national language.

Anyone wishing to study in Micronesia is required to obtain a student visa prior to starting classes.
