Question About Education

[Pennsylvania 0]

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question but here goes. Please let me know if it would be more appropriate elsewhere!

My fiancee is in the third year of her undergraduate degree in Ukraine, studying humanities. She has decent marks and if she stayed in Ukraine would graduate in May 2011 with the Bachelor's degree equivalent there. If all goes as planned, however, she would be approved and come to me in the USA before that time. My fiancee wants to pursue higher education in the USA, and I support this. We will have the resources, long-term, to do this without problems.

What we would like to know, however, is whether her Ukrainian academic credit would have value here in the USA. Of course, we are very much aware of the pedagogical and practical differences between the US and Ukrainian educational systems. I'm certain that this is probably a very specific question which should be addressed to both the prospective US university and the current Ukrainian university.

If anyone on this forum, however, has experience with anything like this, and can share general tips, likelihoods, ideas, etc., that would be great!

Thanks so much!!!!!!

She will need her transcripts evaluated... best thing is to talk to the admissions office of the university and use the eval service they recommend
