AACRAO EDGE, the Electronic Database for Global Education, has been the leading US resource for evaluating foreign educational credentials for more than 15 years.
EDGE provides valuable information that supports institutional decision-making in international recruitment, admissions, academic placement and the evaluation of international transfer credit.
The information in EDGE is extensively researched by professional evaluators using primary sources from each country. Grading scale translations and placement recommendations are vetted by the International Education Standards Council (IESC) and represent the consensus expert opinion in the U.S.
Each profile includes:
- An overview of each country's educational system
- An educational ladder detailing the common educational pathways
- Common grading scales used within the country with US conversions
- Academic credentials and placement recommendations for US placement
- Institution lists, verification resources
- Glossary of educational terms
