There is no single authority in the United States for the recognition of foreign degrees and other qualifications. International agreements and the practice in the U.S. education system and labor market recognize the existence of three competent authorities for recognition matters:

The admitting school or higher education institution, for students who seek to study in the United States and who are presenting credits or qualifications earned abroad;

The hiring employer, for individuals seeking work and who are presenting degrees or other qualifications earned abroad; and

State or territorial licensing boards, for individuals seeking to practice regulated professions in a jurisdiction of the United States and who are presenting degrees or other qualifications earned abroad.

Many, if not most, of these competent authorities in turn depend on expert comparability recommendations prepared by credential evaluation services.
