IRRT (International Relations Round Table)

Hi,

I obtained my master's and doctorate from an Egyptian university. 

How can I equate my degree to be accredited from ALA? or even study a specific number of credit hours to obtain the accreditation? or should I enroll in an accredited school and start from the beginning?

Thanks

Hi Safinaz, 

Have you explored an international credential evaluation organization? If not, this website would be a good first step:  https://www.naces.org/ 

When I moved to the US, I went through an evaluation process like this for my UK degrees. This service is not free but much less costly than starting over. 

All the best, 

Karen

Greetings,

I undertook all my three degrees in Library and Information Sciences from Kenya. I went through one of the organizations from the list provided below https://www.naces.org/. You can give it a try.

Thank you.
