Credits earned from colleges, universities, and institutions listed as accredited institutions on this website will be considered as part of the educational component of the minimum qualifications for a classification.

The following options apply to the evaluation of college degrees from countries outside the United States:

All candidates meeting the minimum qualifications will have their application scored in a Formula Rate Examination.
