WES Helps Institutions Strengthen Their Faculty and Staff Hiring and Verification Practices
Faculty credentials earned outside the United States present special challenges for campus HR professionals; neither their validity nor their equivalency to U.S. credentials can be easily determined.
Yet, your institution must demonstrate that these faculty members have appropriate academic preparation in accordance with standards required by your accrediting association.
WES Credential Evaluation Reports Can Help By:
- Verifying the authenticity of academic credentials earned outside the U.S.
- Providing an authoritative statement of U.S. equivalency as part of an objective, expert credential analysis.
- Demonstrating your institution’s due diligence in verifying all faculty credentials
Academic institutions can use WES evaluations secure in the knowledge that they are based on valid documents and prepared by experts using the most advanced evaluation information technology, research methods and conversion tools.
Institutions frequently call on WES for credential evaluations in connection with institutional self-studies held in preparation for re-accreditation visits. To ensure ongoing compliance with accreditation standards, many institutions require that all foreign-educated candidates have their credentials evaluated by WES.
Working with WES is simple and convenient. For more information on how WES can support your institution, have your Human Resources Director or a member of your institutional self-study team contact our Academic Services department at 212-219-7330 or faculty@wes.org.
