Course-by-Course Credentials Evaluation — This report contains all of the information that a General Statement Credentials Evaluation provides, and also includes information regarding the educational institutions where you studied, your attendance dates, as well as providing a detailed breakdown with the U.S. comparability of the courses, credits and grades and the degrees/diplomas/certificates you earned outside the United States. The Course-by-Course Credentials Evaluation also offers two optional services:
