What is an academic credential evaluation?

An academic credential evaluation determines the equivalency of studies completed outside the United States against the U.S. education system. It is issued by an independent evaluation agency and is used for immigration, employment, or educational processes. Visa Express organizes and manages the application with the evaluation agency.

Who Might This Be Right For?

  • Completed studies outside the United States and need an equivalency.
  • Need the evaluation for an immigration, employment, or educational process.
  • Have their original diplomas and transcripts.
  • Need to know if their degree equates to a specific level in the United States.
  • Are looking for a general evaluation or a course-by-course breakdown.

The final equivalency is determined exclusively by the independent evaluation agency, not by Visa Express.
