* The degree equivalency process in the U.S. involves evaluating foreign degrees and credits to determine if they meet U.S. academic standards. This process typically requires submitting academic transcripts and certificates to a credential evaluation service, such as WES or ECE, which compares the foreign education system with U.S. standards. The evaluation determines the equivalency of the foreign degree, including its level (e.g., Associate or Bachelor's) and the number of transferable credits. This report helps universities, employers, and licensing agencies in the U.S. assess whether the foreign qualifications are recognized for further education or employment purposes.

The success of the equivalency process largely depends on the institution the student chooses for continuing education or employment. U.S. universities and employers may have different policies for accepting foreign degrees and credits, with many preferring degrees from accredited institutions. The level of accreditation, whether regional or national, plays a crucial role in determining the recognition of the foreign degree. Some U.S. institutions may have stricter requirements or may require additional documentation for foreign qualifications, while others may be more flexible, particularly if the institution's programs align well with U.S. academic standards.
