to get college transcript accredited

[ptcrusier333rph]

This is the response I got back from Missouri Department of Education.I hope this will help other that want to get thier degree accreditted.

 

We are unable to evaluate foreign credentials in this office. Before we can process your

application for a Missouri teaching certificate, you must send all transcripts and other

certification information to a United States credentialing agency that provides transcript

analysis service. The analysis must be translated into English and include the following:

specific course titles, credit hours earned, letter grades received, the cumulative grade

point average, and a statement verifying the completed program's equivalency to a United

States degree.

After you receive the official analysis from the credentialing agency, you may apply for a

Missouri teaching certificate. The official analysis from the credentialing agency will be

accepted in lieu of the institutional recommendation. Upon receipt of the completed

application packet, our office will complete a course by course evaluation to determine

your eligibility for Missouri certification.

You will need to complete a Missouri Teacher Certification Application and submit

fingerprints for a Background Check. The certification requirements are available on the

DESE website; http://www.dese.mo.gov/divteachqual/teachc...quirements.html .

Although we do not endorse any of the agencies listed on the attached page, we have

contacted each of them and verified that they provide all the information we require.

This information was current as of April, 2005.

If you have any further questions, please contact our office at 573-751-0051.

Seems like each State, if not each college seems to have their own individual determination on who is authorized to translate and evaluate courses. Missouri seems to have a larger than normal list of agencies.

 

Guess it could be like getting the SSN or Drivers License, if you don't like the answer you get go to the next window or state.

An informative post.

It gave me the incentive to email the Va DOE in regards to my wife, who taught in China. Maybe the DOE can put us(her) on the right path.

My wife hasn't been able to find any kind of a job since she's been here and it's been most discouraging for her. I try to be the "great optimist" and keep her spirits up but it hasn't been easy on either of us.

We'll see where this leads.

 

Thanks, Robert
