Currently, international students seeking licensure in the state of Nevada must present an English evaluation (not just a translation) of their credentials.  An English translation differs from an English evaluation.

The evaluation refers to:

• the quality of the foreign school attended

• the equivalency of the applicant’s coursework to the appropriate degree

• the equivalency of the applicant’s international scores into a U.S. grade (if applicable)

Applicants for licensure who have attended colleges or universities outside the United States must provide the Office of Teacher Licensing with a detailed report as to degree equivalency, as compared to U.S. regionally approved institutions, and a course-by-course evaluation* of any college or university level credit completed, from a regionally accredited college or university or independent nationally recognized evaluation agency, approved by the Nevada Commission on Professional Standards in Education.  The independent national evaluation agencies approved by the commission are as follows:
