That would involve a major change to the way American higher education deals with foreign credit, and a notable increase in federal involvement in that area. In the U.S., universities set their own policies when it comes to accepting transfer credit (foreign or domestic). For foreign credit, usually they rely on a set of private evaluators who have expertise in that area. There's no one central monopoly with which to negotiate, and while the federal government has been muscling in a bit lately through regulation of the financial aid system, for the most part the federal government still has only a secondary role in U.S. higher education. -=Steve=- -- Stephen H.
