U.S. transcript evaluations for international students
Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) reviews academic achievements and converts them into a United States equivalency so you can:
- Apply to universities and colleges
- Further your career
- Meet licensure requirements
- Serve in the military
- Comply with USCIS requirements
Your journey begins by selecting an evaluation report.
Get Started
Selecting an evaluation report is easier than you think. No matter your reason for needing an evaluation, we have one that's perfect for your situation. And as a charter member of NACES, our reports are accepted at thousands of institutions.
Colleges, universities, employers, and government agencies use credential evaluations to evaluate foreign education as part of the admission or hiring process. We recommend contacting your school or licensing board to make sure you know their credential evaluation report requirements before starting.
If you are applying for multiple reasons, you only need to complete one application. That's right - a single evaluation covers all your needs.
Just select the reasons on the application that apply to you, and we'll make sure you get the report that works for your purposes.
