Institute Of International Education

IIE Vietnam’s advising centers are affiliated with the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).

These centers offer international students and scholars access to the information they need to understand the U.S. educational system. ECA/A/S/A estimates that a majority of the nearly 500,000 international students now studying in the U.S. contacted a U.S. Government affiliated center for information on U.S. study. The advising centers explain the process for gaining admission to an American college or university, usually through regularly scheduled presentations.

Centers provide impartial and accurate information about the full range of accredited institutions of higher learning in the United States. They do not serve as agents or recruiters. Advisers are encouraged to abide by established standards of ethical practice.

The IIE Vietnam Educational Advising Centers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City provide the following services:

Opportunities to meet directly with US university alumni and recruiters
When possible, IIE tries to make U.S. universities visiting Vietnam available through students in one of two ways. Often we will ask the university to spend an afternoon simply talking with students in the office regarding its programs. Once a year, IIE also organizes a U.S. university fair in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi where students may come and gather information from several U.S. universities.
