Education Advising Centers

American Councils administers 17 EducationUSA Advising Centers (EACs) throughout Eurasia and Central Asia. These centers are part of the U.S. State Department supported EducationUSA Advising Center network and exist to:

• Provide accurate, impartial information about all accredited U.S. higher education institutions
• Make appropriate and accurate materials available for researching educational programs in the US
• Advise students about applying independently to US higher education institutions
• Provide information on study- and research-abroad opportunities

EACs maintain libraries of written, audio-visual, and CD-ROM resources (including ETS test preparation materials) and translate some materials into local languages. Lectures, seminars, and counseling services are also delivered. The Regional Education Advising Coordinators for Eurasia and Central Asia deliver professional development and other opportunities to all EducationUSA advisers in the region.

Educational Advising Centers are typically open during regular business hours. Please check with individual advising centers for exact hours and for information on evening and weekend hours. For more information about events taking place at EACs throughout the Region please visit our calendar.
