Beyond the States Offers Americans a Way to Avoid US Higher Education Problems

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyond the States, a service that helps American students navigate Europe's English-conducted higher education programs, has released new membership options. Founded by the American husband and wife team of Jennifer and Tom Viemont, the membership site includes a comprehensive searchable database of over 1,500 accredited English-conducted full bachelor's degree programs available throughout non-anglophone Europe. The new membership packages include a personalized list of good-fit programs, consultation services, and email support.

The benefits of earning a degree in Europe are many. European degree programs are more affordable than their U.S. counterparts.  The average tuition of the English-conducted bachelor's degree programs in continental Europe is $7291 and, in most cases, bachelor's degree programs less than four years to complete, saving students both time and money. In many cases a full degree in Europe can be obtained for the cost of 1 year in the US-even with travel costs. Even at highly regarded European universities, the admissions process is much less competitive, with more transparent admissions requirement and a focus on fit between student and school.

"Our site is designed to provide families with all the information that Tom and I were personally looking for, as parents to teenagers," said Jennifer Viemont. "We recognize that some students and families seek individual and customized service when deciding on a college so we have added packages to meet the needs of these families."

Beyond the States allows families and students to learn about, and compare, European schools and their English-conducted bachelor's degree programs including information about admissions processes, costs, visa requirements and student housing. Beyond the States does not accept advertising or funding from universities, enabling it to provide objective information about the schools.  Jennifer Viemont has personally visited, vetted and researched many of the schools listed in the Beyond the States database.
