Evaluations and Fees - Graduate Admissions

Let's begin with the primary purpose of your evaluation. Select an option below.

Our Recommendation

Based on your selection, you should choose a Course-by-Course evaluation. View sample report.

This report is suitable for transfer and graduate admissions, and licensing and certification boards (except Certified Public Accountants, please see CPA licensing).

A WES Basic Course-by-Course evaluation identifies and describes each of your credentials. It contains:

  • The name of the credential
  • The requirements for entry
  • The program length
  • The equivalency in terms of U.S. education
  • A list of all courses completed at the post-secondary level
  • A U.S. semester credit and grade equivalent for each course
  • A U.S. grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale
  • A designation of the level (upper or lower) of each undergraduate course

We recommend the Course-by-Course International Credential Advantage Package (ICAP); this means we will store your verified transcripts in addition to your evaluation report for easy sending later. In addition, you will receive a WES digital badge you can use to display your verified credentials on social media sites like LinkedIn.

Note: Please check with your prospective professional licensing body, academic institution or employer to verify the type of report they require.
