  ► A combination of 1 year of education outside of the U.S.   either before or after a 3-year bachelor’s degree
  ► Passing the final examination for a chartered accountant   program
  ► Receiving a diploma from the Institute of Chartered   Financial Analysts (CFA)

We do not consider 3-year bachelor’s degrees from India, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka, Scotland and certain other countries to be equivalent to a 4-year US bachelor’s degree.  While we do accept outside credential evaluations from NACES and AICE members, if the degree is a 3-year bachelor’s degree from India, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka, Scotland or other certain other countries, we will not consider the degree to be equivalent with a 4-year US bachelor’s degree.
