Evaluation Program
The InterAmerican University Credential Evaluation Program allows
the analysis and the evaluation of all personal, academic and
professional experiences, and their later conversion in credit
units applicable towards the U.S. university system. It is,
therefore, of an official recognition of the merits accumulated
by a specific candidate that could lead to the achievement of
a higher education degree, either in a direct way or by means
of a tailored made course program.
The credits can be granted by different concepts:
· Personal Experience
· Work Experience
· Professional Experience
· Military Training
· Professional Training
· Approved university Courses
· Corporate Training
· Seminars, Courses, Workshops, etc.
· Independent Research
· Independent Personal Study
· Professional Affiliations
· General Courses
By means of this program, any candidate is eligible to regularize
his university status and to conform a file in which there appear
all those credits granted either by his/her previous experiences,
or by academic, professional or personal experience.
The Credential Evaluation program allows the candidate to complete
his/her career in the smallest possible time, either on campus
or at a distance, once the Evaluation Committee has concluded
the verification of the Portfolio has pronounced itself on the
total quantity of authorized credits.
From that moment on, the candidate can alternatively opt for:
1. Carry out a project-research paper in accordance with the
Director of the Program.

of credits needed for the chosen career (in case he/she needs
