If you are coming to the United States for Studies or Employment, your educational credentials must be evaluated to the US standards in accordance to the NACES and/or USCIS. Some Universities, Schools and Professional Bodies required applicants to send their credentials direct to them and they have their own evaluation methods for free or for a fee. But you cannot use that for a different authority. Generally, if your evaluation was done by NACES or any of its affiliated organizations it’s accepted to most of US Educational Institutions and Employers across the US.
Educational Perspectives (EP) is a Member of the NACES and their staff is actively involved in many key international education bodies and not limited to American Association of Collegiate Registrars (AACRAO), the European Association for International Education (EAIE), NAFSA: Association of International Educators, and National Association of Graduate Admission Professionals (NAGAP). EP is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, US since 2003.
EP serve international body in 3 different ways. Individuals coming to US for studies and Employment and Requirements of Institutions. EP also provides Translation Services from many languages.
Educational Perspectives prepares evaluation reports that will help you have your non-US education recognized for admission to a higher education institution in the United States.
A General Evaluation (also known as a ‘document-by-document’ report) identifies the institution(s) attended, dates of attendance, credentials received, and the United States equivalent of your study. A US equivalent grade point average (GPA) is included for evaluations prepared for the purposes of Further Education and Professional Licensure. We do not calculate a GPA for Employment or Immigration unless requested by the applicant. Sample Report This report identifies the institution(s) attended, dates of attendance, credentials received, and the United States equivalent of your study. Additionally, this report lists the individual courses taken for each credential received, a US equivalent credit/unit value and grade. A US equivalent grade point average (GPA) is included.
Whether you have completed your education outside the United States, or you plan to hire an employee with international educational credentials, a credential evaluation will be useful to you. In most cases a General Evaluation will satisfy the requirements for employment and immigration.
