Career / Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by Oluwatowoju: 9:49am On Sep 10, 2021
Pls I need ur help on this
I also have HND in accounting from fedpoly ado Ekiti
How can I go about admission in the us

This is a lie
@ Everybody I am a living witness I am currently in the Virginia state, USA studying Master in Software engineering I had HND in computer science from The Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti and I was exempted from taking any prerequisites which is 15 credit hour because I have already done them in my ND/HND whereas there are some university degree holders that were made to register prerequisites courses I even had a friend from Uganda who has a university degree from Uganda she cannot register any courses because of prerequisites. Moreso, I have just sent my results to WES for evaluation, I will give you the true standing of HND certificate in the United State.

On most serious note ND/HND has more quality than university Degree it may sound funny because I have friends who attended universities in Nigeria.
1 Polytechnic Education does not give room for secondary education revision while in the university system most courses done in the first three semesters are secondary school subjects like biology maths econs physics etc
http://csc.futa.edu.ng/courselist.php VS http://www.fedpolyado.edu.ng/images/download/2013%20FPA%20Prospectus.pdf page 76

check the course outline compare and contrast NOTE this is not limited to FUTA i am just using it as an example it applies to virtually all our universities in Nigeria

2 Most Polytechnic students (ND) that crossed to university to complete degree are often best students of that set they joined in 200 level

3 Polytechnic systems are practical oriented learning system while university systems pay little attention to practical

4. In Federal & state Civil service HND & Bsc are being placed on GL 08 ST 02

5 Well in the university you may found many doctors and professors but while in the polytechnics are limited doctors but mostly master's and first degree but in the real sense those universities Doctorate degree holders are they truely Doctorate holders, Yes! I can authoritatively tell you most of them are bagging doctorates via godfatherism, if their godfather who is a professor transfer from UNN to OAU they will also transfer while most polytechnic lecturers" qualifications are gotten thru hard-working because almost all polytechnics are not B Sc. awarding institution.

But if you are judging by context of how university and polytechnic were created you may be wrong or right
you may wrong if NUC & NBTE were created for chop-chop purposes or they really meant it but in my own opinion I assumed the formal purpose of creation[/quote]
