Description

Individuals who are seeking an educator license and who attended a college/university or earned a degree outside of the United States need to obtain an evaluation of their credentials conducted by one of the approved agencies.  (If an individual took only coursework – not completed a degree – outside of the United States and it was transferred on an official transcript from a regionally accredited college or university listing the course titles and semester- or quarter-hour credits earned, the official transcript from the U.S. regionally accredited college or university is acceptable to document the courses.)  To document degrees, the evaluation must include a statement regarding the equivalency of the program of study to a degree (such as baccalaureate degree or master’s degree) granted from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States.  The evaluation also must include a listing of the courses completed and the semester-hour equivalent for each course.  The evaluation may be accepted in lieu of an official transcript from the institution of higher education outside of the United States.
