YEREVAN, AUGUST 17, ARMENPRESS: Around 31 students and university
graduates have left for the USA by the programs of International
Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) to study at the American
universities. About 15 first and second year students left for USA by
"UGRAD" program and 16 university graduates left by "MASKIE" program.

The places intended for the students and graduates of universities
of the CIS countries are being decreased annually as a result of
reduction of the financing of the USA State Department.

Zhanetta Khachatrian, an official from the IREX, said that annually
they receive about 300 applications mainly from students and graduates
of Brusov State Linguistic University, Russian-Armenian (Slavonic)
University and Yerevan State University. The Armenian students who
leave to study at USA universities mainly prefer the departments of
economy, business management and international relations.
