If anyone has information I would be grateful. I’m thinking about going to Budapest University of Technology and Economics to be exact. Anyone who has experience taking any Hungarian bachelors to the US to continue for their masters is welcome to comment too.
I have the same question regarding engineering degrees from a university of Applied sciences in Holland
Considering their poor international rankings, they probably aren’t too well-regarded, but I don’t have any personal experience with foreign colleges.
Why answer if you have no idea??
I work with several people who did an undergrad in their home country then came to the US for graduate school.
I don’t have data, but my sense is that this is quite common. You may not find a way to MIT or Stanford, but you should have a good chance at literally dozens of other places, depending of course on GRE scores, English skills, etc.
You might contact two or three schools to find out. Texas Tech, Michigan Tech, Toledo, and New Mexico State are places some of my colleagues graduated from, for example.
I should add that three of my colleagues stand out. All three achieved an engineering degree in eastern Europe during the Warsaw Pact years. One jumped ship, one walked across the frontier, and the third apparently drew some fire during his escape. Different circumstances than yours, thankfully.
^ Note, however, that they went to grad school in the US. If you want to work in the US as an engineer, you probably want to go to an ABET program. American grad school would be fine.
@mkilik : are you an American citizen or a European?
Why Budapest?
