9. Medical Courses:
The aging population of developed countries, medical tourism and
the expansion plans of developing ones have given rise to the
increase in demand of health care workers. According to the
Department of Labor and Employment, the manpower request for
graduates of health related courses has been steadily increasing by
2.3% yearly.

10. Nursing: while there seems
to be a temporary surplus of
nurses in the country, it is
expected that the demand for
graduates of this course will
continue to increase within the
next 10 years.
The current top overseas
destination of graduate nurses
are Saudi Arabia, UAE,
Singapore, Kuwait, United
Kingdom, US, Qatar, Taiwan,
Ireland and Trinidad and
Tobago.

11. Education:
The growing lack of skilled educators in developed countries has also
sparked the rush towards education courses. Specially needed are
elementary, secondary, science, math, physical education and childcare
teachers, professors and lecturers in KSA, Libya, Seychellles, Macau, US
and South Korea.

12. Culinary Arts and
Hotel & Restaurant Management:
Top destination countries of graduates of these
courses are Libya, Kuwait, UAE, CNMI, Oman, KSA,
UAE, Korea, Macau, Singapore and Romania.

13. Banking and Finance Courses:
Of special mention in this category are Accounting Clerks, Bookkeepers,
Auditors, Cashiers, Credit Card Analysts, Finance Analyst/Specialists,
Accountants (Account Officer, Analyst), and Risk Management Officers.
These workers are in demand in developing countries and financial
centers such as Libya, Kuwait, Singapore and Switzerland.

14. Engineering Courses:
Projects regarding megacities construction in the middle east,
plans to increase manufacturing capacity, and the rise of
renewable energy have all resulted to the shortage of skilled
engineers worldwide.

15. Cyberservices:
A particularly interesting development in the most popular college courses based on
global demand is in relation to cyberservices. Demand for skilled workers in this
industry has been increasing rapidly at about 6.4% yearly which is more than twice the
other courses.

16. The College/Graduate School Admissions Domino Effect states that
there are five key steps of applying and getting accepted to the
colleges or graduate schools of your choice.
If you ignore any one of the steps, or do one poorly,
then the likelihood of getting accepted decreases dramatically
-- just as if you pulled a domino out of a chain of dominos.
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

17. Grades matter.
Admissions committees view your grades as future
indicators of how likely you are to succeed in
undergraduate or graduate classes.

18. You need to perform well
on whatever standardized test –
entrance/admission test/s are required for
admission.

19. Undergraduate colleges like to see applicants
who have shown leadership in one or more
volunteer or extracurricular activities.
Remember that quality is favored over
quantity, and be sure and take a leadership role
in at least one of them.
Activities/Experience

20. If done properly, the application essay (or
personal statement) is a chance for you cut
through the other applications and make yourself
stand apart from the other applicants.
Application Essay

21. Strong recommendations
are a critical part -- perhaps the most critical
part -- of the college application.
