A course-by-course credential evaluation is required for applicants who have attended institutions outside of the United States to consider your application complete. Evaluation services that are members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) will be accepted. Many students submit evaluations from the following evaluation agencies based upon their individualized needs: (ECE, IEE, JS&A, Spantran, and WES). If the evaluation does not include a copy of the transcripts that were evaluated, applicants must upload both the transcripts from the institution and the credential evaluation as one document to the application.

In-house transcript evaluation is also available at no cost for early applicants; only applicants who have submitted all other required application materials will be placed on the waiting list for an internal evaluation. Applicants can anticipate a wait time of approximately 10 - 12 weeks from the date all other materials have been received for their evaluation to be completed.
