Educational Credential Evaluations Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Educational Credential Evaluation?

  • Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) is a nonprofit organization that evaluates academic records from other countries and converts them to US or Canadian equivalents.
  • If  you want to study or work in or immigrate to the U.S. or study in Canada, an ECE® evaluation report will help to ensure that you are recognized for your educational accomplishments. 
  • ECE has been providing educational credential evaluations for over 40 years.
