Expanded International Credit Evaluation Companies
On August 30, Seth Kamen
send the message below to MC Counselors and Advisors. It bears repeating for counselors and advisors meeting
with new students who have international credits to be evaluated and
hopefully accepted at Montgomery College.
Unfortunately, there is
not one specific international credit evaluation company that is best to
recommend for students who want to transfer later. As you can see from the list of transfer schools in
the message below, students who eventually want to transfer to UM College Park
should select a course-by-course evaluation from ECE rather than from
WES. While it is impossible to cover all possible transfer schools with
one evaluation, it is still worth asking a prospective student if they have a
transfer school in mind when they arrive at MC.
Subject: Expanded International Credit Evaluation Companies
All,
Effective Fall 2018,
Montgomery College is expanding its approved international credit evaluations
companies to include:
- World
Education Services (WES)
- Josef Silny & Associates
(JSA)
- Educational
Credential Evaluators (ECE)
This expansion will align our
requirements with the requirements at many of our four-year partner
institutions. We recommend that students try to use a company that will be
accepted by both MC and their intended transfer institution. This will allow
them to use the same evaluation for both admission processes, saving both the
time and money of a new evaluation.
To aid you, here is a list of
companies accepted by some of our partner institutions:
- University of Maryland,
College Park: ECE or JSA
- UMBC - UMBC only accepts
evaluations from Ed Perspectives or FCSA. Students will need to have their transcript
re-evaluated by one of those organizations.
- UMUC – WES [note
that UMUC does not issue F-1 visas for international students]
- University of Baltimore
– WES
- UMES – WES, ECE
- Salisbury University –
WES, ECE or JSA
- Towson University – WES,
ECE
- George Washington
University – WES, ECE or JSA
- Howard University – WES
- UM School of Nursing –
WES, ECE or JSA
- Trinity Washington
University – WES, ECE or JSA
- Hood College – WES
- McDaniel College – WES
- Bowie State University –
WES, ECE
- St. Mary’s College of
Maryland – WES
- Coppin State University
– WES, JSA
- Goucher College – WES,
JSA
- Morgan State University
– WES, ECE
Our Credit
for Prior Learning website has been updated to reflect this information.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Seth
