However, there are several options:<br\/>&#8211; You have a completed HAVO or VWO diploma;<br\/>&#8211; You have a GED diploma. This is an American High School certificate that you can get as a Dutchman if you only have a VMBO diploma, for example; <br\/>&#8211; You have a completed (two-year) MBO education;<br\/>&#8211; You are working on a bachelor&#8217;s degree;<br\/>&#8211; You have a completed bachelor&#8217;s degree.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here you will find more information about the various options.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you attended a Dutch high school, you must have completed HAVO or VWO. You can start the process while you are still in school, but you can&#8217;t start at a university in America until you get your degree.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also opportunities for athletes who have already started studying in the Netherlands. Are you already studying at a Dutch MBO, HBO or WO university? Then you can often transfer to an American university.
