Educational Exchange

“Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication to the harmonizing of international relations.”

-Senator J. William Fulbright

EducationUSA
EducationUSA is a global network of more than 450 advising centers supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) fosters mutual understanding between the United States and other countries by promoting personal, professional, and institutional ties between private citizens and organizations in the United States and abroad, as well as by presenting U.S. history, society, art and culture in all of its diversity to overseas audiences.
 
The Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo has now become an official EducationUSA Center, offering advice and guidance to Norwegian students interested in applying to a U.S. university or college. We can provide information about undergraduate and graduate programs, for either full degrees or study abroad semesters. In addition, we can advise on high school exchange possibilities. If you have any questions, please contact educational exchange coordinator Anne Charlotte Lindblom directly at: (+47) 21 30 89 26 or via e-mail: OsloEDU@state.gov.

We can help you with:

  • How to find a suitable university/college and/or major
  • The application process
  • Financial aid
  • Information on standardized tests (TOFEL, SAT, ACT, GMAT and others)


NOTE: The Educational Advising Center’s purpose is to provide general information. We do not serve as an agent or recruiter for any particular educational institution.
