About Foreign Credential Evaluation

A foreign credential evaluation is a detailed assessment comparing educational degrees and professional qualifications from one country to the U.S. system, determining their equivalency for employment, education, licensing, or immigration, typically done by qualified agencies by analyzing transcripts and diplomas to provide an official report.
What it is

A service that compares academic and professional qualifications earned abroad (like a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or diploma) to their U.S. equivalents (High School Diploma, Bachelor’s, PhD, etc.).
It provides a report showing the U.S. placement, GPA conversion, and accreditation status of foreign institutions.

Who needs it

International students applying to U.S. universities. Individuals seeking U.S. employment or professional licenses. Government agencies or immigration entities.

How it works:
Choose an agency: Select a qualified agency.
Submit documents: Send your original transcripts, diplomas, and other relevant documents (often requiring translation).
Receive report: The agency issues a detailed report stating the U.S. equivalency of your credentials.
Key organizations:
