What Is a Credential Evaluation?

A credential evaluation report compares your academic qualifications to standards in the U.S. or Canada. It helps higher education institutions, employers, licensing boards, and immigration authorities better understand the value of the education you received.

A WES credential evaluation can:

  • Support requirements for university or college admissions
