WES Credential Evaluation

What is a credential evaluation?

A credential evaluation report is a standard admissions requirement for international students applying for admission to higher education institutions throughout the United States and Canada. A credential evaluation report highlights your academic achievements and verifies your qualifications. Your World Education Services (WES) credential evaluation report describes each credential you have earned using standard U.S. or Canadian education terminology and includes an equivalency statement comparing your credentials to similar credentials in the U.S. or Canada.
