Establishing Academic Equivalencies |
| |
| Abstract: | Few issues are so emotion laden and so subject to contradictory opinion as that of establishing equivalencies between academic degrees. The difficulties and frustrations often experienced when attempting to have credits transferred between institutions or, on occasion, even between colleges or schools of the same institution are usually compounded manyfold when it is a question of the validation and recognition by governmental and academic bodies of study abroad. Persons, goods, currencies, and ideas may flow unimpeded across frontiers; but foreign academic credentials, it seems, raise deep-seated issues of personal honor and national pride and tend not to be accepted at face value by host countries. |
