University Comparison
Two Universities:
The educations system in the United States is said to be, many times, unique. This education system seems to stress practically over everything else, and this is something good, but many times, other ideas may benefit from consideration by education authorities in America. This paper will thus focus upon two universities in order to see their similarities and differences, namely University of Ghana and Georgia State University, and see which, if either is better suited or a better institution in which individuals can learn.
The very first difference, from the simple names of the universities shows that one of them is a state university in the United States, and the other is a national university of a country in Africa. This, however, does not mean that there are not similarities. For example, both universities have beautifully built websites, that give a detailed history of the particular university. The "about" page of the University of Ghana, for example, describes how the university was built, and when. Furthermore, it includes statistics on its graduation and enrollment, its associations and links, and its institutional affiliations.
The other nice thing about this organization is that it provides detailed descriptions of its colleges, which include: College of Health Sciences, which has a medical, dental, allied health services, public health,...
These institutes include the Institute of African Studies, the Institute of Adult Education, the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research, the Memorial Institute for
Medical Research, and the Institute for Population Studies. Further, the about page also gives
insight as to the research and learning centers, and states that it works with 17 of such learning centers or libraries.
Though both universities have an about page, the
structure of these is different, as well as their content, which also proves differences between universities. For example, on Georgia State's website, the President includes a Welcome message, which is quite characteristic for a university in the United States. The website also includes a
mission statement, and several other facts about Georgia State, including an overview of its structure, its schools, tuition rates, and research centers and such, the latter of which were also described by the University of Ghana, above.
There is yet another difference here with the two Universities…
