In one of my LETTER TO YOU series, I shared information and how you could study in the UK with your HND. I hope quite a lot of you check it OUT and share it with your friends and family who may need it.
A few days ago, someone sent me a DM and asked if one could study for a Master degree with HND in the USA, I shared all the necessary information I could with the person and I felt there is a need to share the same on my blog for many of others who may not know to be informed.
Of course, it is possible to study for a Master's degree in the USA and in CANADA with your HND.
Using this information am about to share with you, even if you had a PASS you can go for a master's degree in the USA and in Canada.
The USA is known for its vast opportunities and culture. It is also known for its numerous scholarships for international students.
So, how do you study for a Master's degree in the USA and Canada with your HND?
Through RESULT EVALUATION!
What is result evaluation? It is the conversion of your HND results to the USA/Canada standard. This is done by using known and acceptable evaluators.
With your HND or B.Sc. lower credit, you could be having a distinction, 2.1 or 2.2 of the USA/Canada standard upon evaluation. After the evaluation, the result would be used for your school and scholarship application.
Most commonly used evaluators in the United States include World Education Service (WES), International Education Research Foundation, Inc. (IERF), Academic Evaluation Services (AES), Educational Credential Evaluators, (ECE).
While Canadian Universities used World Education Service (WES).
Other evaluators are not included here, it is best to ask your proposed school their acceptable evaluator before going ahead with the evaluation. However, if you had already done the evaluation, just inform your chosen school about it and if they will be willing to accept the result.
The result evaluation will give you an edge in your application. Have seen different people share their testimonies on how result evaluation has helped in achieving their dreams.
Out of all these evaluators, I will advise you to use World Education Service (WES) for your evaluation.
World Education Service (WES) is one of the most widely used and accepted educational services. But still, you should confirm from your intending school before you start the evaluation.
Some schools would refer you to an evaluator while some will assist you with the evaluator. You would only pay them for such service.
When you start your result evaluation with WES, you SHOULD do a “Course-By-Course Evaluation” instead of a “Document by Document Evaluation”. This will eliminate some of those external or borrowed courses you did during your programme which reduced your CGPA. These courses may be taken away during the evaluation if they are not offered in the programme in the USA/Canada.
Remember the idea and reason behind the result evaluation are to enhance your result to the USA standard. So, if some of those courses are not offered in your programme in the USA they will be removed.
For a better understanding, let us assume you finished your HND with lower credit in Accounting and did Government Law as an elective course. If in the USA/Canada, government law is not in their curriculum for same programme, this could be removed from your result during evaluation and only focus on courses that are applicable in the USA/Canada and/or similar to their course syllabus.
So far, I haven't seen anyone who complained and/or regret ever doing a result evaluation. Am telling you that this is a real deal for HND holders and those who had second class lower in their B.Sc. degree and wish to go further in the USA.
In fact, have seen someone who shared testimony of how he got a fully funded scholarship to study in the USA with HND after result evaluation.
Now, I will explain the process of going through the result evaluation for a better understanding below.
Please note that this should be done by yourself, however, if you are so lazy or so busy, you could look for someone to assist with it.
First - Click here and select education
Second - Select graduate admission.
All the necessary information would be displayed.
Third - Choose USA/Canada, since this is where you would like your result to be sent to
Provide your email and fill all the necessary requirement and information.
The evaluation and result take like seven days once all the necessary documents (transcript) have been made available and payment is done. This means that you need to ensure your school sends in the transcript as soon as possible.
To achieve this, I'd advise you do all your feasibility studies on your school before you begin your evaluation so that they will not delay your process. We all know how Nigerian schools can be when it comes to transcript.
The cost of the result evaluation is $205.

NB. Some schools in the USA would accept your HND directly for a master. All you have to do is to get in touch with school and ask questions.
