The WES Gateway Program currently focuses on Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Syria, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Venezuela. Our research team will continue to review all factors and whenever possible expand this list. A public announcement will be made if countries are added.

Depending on your goals in the U.S., you may be able to use another credential evaluation service provider to help you meet admission, licensing, or employment requirements. Before requesting a credential evaluation from any agency, contact the institution that needs the evaluation. The institution may require that you use a specific provider. These institutions are responsible for the final recognition decision. You may also use the free WES degree equivalency tool to preview the U.S. equivalency of your international credentials. This preview does not replace a formal credential evaluation that may be needed for official purposes.
