PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS EVALUATIONS
BASED ON ACADEMICS AND/OR WORK EXPERIENCE

Academic Equivalency Evaluations assess the foreign educational credentials of the candidate. These evaluations determine the level of education and number of years completed, as well as the field of specialization. Academic evaluations consider the educational system of the foreign country, the quality of the university attended by the candidate, the credit hours and number of years of coursework, the nature of the courses, and the grades attained in the courses.

Documents Required for an academic equivalency evaluation: copies of all diplomas, transcripts, and postgraduate degrees.

A Course-by-Course Evaluation is an in-depth analysis of all academic coursework completed by the candidate. The course-by-course evaluation analyzes each course completed by the candidate in the context of the educational system of the foreign country, the reputation of the university, the subject matter of the course, the credit hours completed, and the grade obtained in the course.

We then convert the coursework, credits, grades, and overall grade point average attained by the candidate in the foreign institution into the equivalent measures according to US standards. The course-by-course evaluation concludes with a determination of the equivalency of the foreign credentials in terms of US academic standards.
