HOMOLOGATIONS
We assist clients educated abroad, including international students as well as U.S. citizens and permanent residents, by offering professional translation and credential evaluation services that identify the U.S. academic equivalency of their foreign coursework and degrees.
We provide certified translations of international academic documents and prepare evaluation reports that explain how foreign studies align with the U.S. education system. These evaluations are commonly required for high school, college, and graduate admissions, as well as for immigration processes, employment opportunities, professional licensing, and other official purposes.
For 25+ years, INTEDCO has helped students navigate the U.S. system by accurately translating and evaluating foreign educational documents.
Whether you're aiming for career growth, academic progress, or a stronger visa file, an INTEDCO credential evaluation can help you move forward.
Step 3
Equivalency Determination
& Report Issuance
We will determine the equivalency of the foreign education to the US standard, we provide a detailed report, outlining the educational level achieved, GPA conversion, and recommendations for further education or employment. Lastly, we will issue you a formal report summarizing the findings of the evaluation.
Step 2
Transcription/Translation
& Course-By-Course
Your transcripts and other documents will be transcribed and translated into English if they are in a different language. A course by course evaluation will be conducted to compare the coursework completed by your foreign educational system with the equivalent coursework in the US education system. This includes assessing the level, content, and credit value of each course.
Step 1
Document Submission
& Verification
