Methodology
To prepare a thorough and professional
credential evaluation, Global Credential
Evaluators:
- Verifies the
recognition of tertiary-level institutions
by the ministry of education in
the countries where the education
was obtained.
- 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.
- 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.
