There are thousands of colleges, universities, junior colleges and trade schools, both public and private, in the United States, each of which has its own admissions policies and requirements (this is not, generally speaking, something that’s regulated by the state or federal governments, though the federal government does require foreign persons seeking student visas to prove that they have the financial ability to pay for any proposed course of study, and most schools require those whose native language is not English to demonstrate proficiency in the English Language).

I imagine that your closest U.S. embassy or consulate can supply you with information on this subject, and any particular school in which you’re interested can tell you about its requirements. Here’s a link to the first of several web pages where one NYC school, Columbia University, has posted information of interest to international students. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/isso/admit/
