About the module
The course focuses on foreign credential evaluation in the strategic international enrollment management context. During the course we will examine the history of foreign credential evaluation in the United States, and the evolution of the skillset into a profession. We will study the systematic approach to foreign credential evaluation and its application in various academic settings. We will also practice the practical application of these skills in international education scenarios and explore the impact of timely, accurate, and consistent credential evaluation.
Some of the decisions international education leaders, and credential evaluators face relate to: understanding the native educative system as well as the system under review, how to research and analyze foreign education systems, discerning the characteristics of the foremost global educational systems, recognizing patterns and variances across time periods, assessing transnational and hybrid programs, assigning transfer credit, and formulating credential assessments. In addition to understanding foreign credential evaluation, the course will examine the many ethical issues faced by credential evaluators and leaders in international education.
Successful participants will receive a digital micro-credential acknowledging their completion of this professional development expert module from the International Education Management & Leadership Program at the University at Albany (SUNY).
