Credential evaluation is the way in which academic and professional degrees earned in one country are compared to those earned in another.[1] Universities, colleges and employers around the world use credential evaluations to understand foreign education and to judge applicants for admission or employment.[2]
Immigrants can use credential evaluations to gain recognition for study completed outside the country they are immigrating to and in doing so join the workforce as skilled immigrants.[3] International students use credential evaluations to present their previous coursework and grades to universities anywhere for admission.
