Methodology

To prepare a thorough and professional credential evaluation, Global Credential Evaluators:

  1. Verifies the recognition of tertiary-level institutions by the ministry of education in the countries where the education was obtained.

  2. Evaluates foreign secondary level credentials to establish United States high school diploma comparability. Where foreign educational systems offer secondary programs which exceed the equivalent of U.S. senior high school graduation, advanced standing in lower division undergraduate subjects is considered.

  3. Evaluates foreign tertiary level credentials to establish United States university degree comparability. U.S. degree equivalence is based upon the content of the program, the number of years of full-time study and the perception of the degree in the home country. Where an equivalent degree has been obtained, credits toward a degree are based on submitted official academic records which provide either the unit credits or the clock hours of instruction. All transfer credit is based on the assumption that one year of study in another country is worth no more than one year of credit at a United States institution.

The above guidelines are the opinion of Global Credential Evaluators, Inc. Global Credential Evaluators, Inc. adheres to the recommendations established by the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials. The National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials approves placement recommendations that are followed by a significant number of colleges and universities in the United States.
