@ 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 4 Likes |

Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by Geenona: 7:28pm On Feb 26, 2015 |
I have read with keen interest most of the comments in here and I find it very interesting, absolutely interesting. My brother is a graduate of Public Administration from IMT Enugu (2009) and he made Upper Credit 3.36, HND. He is currently applying for his MSc program in 2 Universities in Texas. One of the schools require transcript evaluation from Foreign Credentials Services America (FCSA). And this is from the 1st page of his transcript evaluation from FCSA: Equivalence Four years of undergraduate study in public administration, plus a one-year non-credit practicum between years two and three U.S. Semester Hours / GPA Undergraduate 141 Hrs / 3.01 Credentials 1 U.S. equivalency Four years of undergraduate study in public administration, plus a one-year practicum between years two and three Country Nigeria Credential Higher National Diploma Institution Institute of Management and Technology Date awarded December 2009 Length of program 5 years, including two-year National Diploma and one-year non-credit practicum Documents viewed Photocopy of transcript and diplomas And this is a note from the second page of his transcript [b]NOTES Between the two-year National Diploma and two-year Higher National Diploma, Mr ............ completed a one-year industrial attachment (practicum) in 2006-07. While the Higher National Diploma represents four years of study, it is an applied degree and not equivalent to the more theoretical bachelor's And here is an email my brother got from one of the schools: Good Morning, xxxxxxx! We have received all the documentation you mentioned in your email; however, the FCSA evaluation does not indicate that you have a U.S. equivalent Bachelor’s Degree. As a result, you do not meet the requirements for graduate school and your application will not be forwarded to the program. If this is an error, please contact the FCSA. Should you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you. Gerry Dimas Graduate Admissions Specialist And this is me writing now: It is absolutely an error for FCSA to append that comment on page 2 of my brother's evaluation even when they have CATEGORICALLY stated on page 1 that the HND is equivalent to a US Bachelor's degree. Now this is what my brother is doing 1. He has applied to WES to do same transcript evaluation. I will post WES http://www.wes.org/ evaluation report here when he gets it 2. He has contacted FCSA and is asking for explanations and correction of the contradictory statement on page 2 of his Transcript 3. This particular school that requested for FCSA evaluation is now saying they can accept WES evaluation (which is even far far better and more recognized than FCSA) NB: The reason why he used FCSA in the first place is because this graduate school wanted the evaluation from FCSA otherwise WES is the evaluation services of choice even though it is more expensive: $286 to have transcript evaluation sent to 2 schools. Take 'aways' from my brother's experience so far: 1. Yes, HND is clearly equivalent to US Bachelors degree and this lends to what a few people have posted here. 2. HND students complete even more credits than Bachelors degree students in Nigeria, they do more academic work! 3. HND students are ABSOLUTELY qualified to apply for Msc programs in the US and I assume anywhere in the world! NB: Admission depends on a lot of factors. 4. Don't take NO for an answer. Always challenge the status quo, ask why, what and clearly present your own facts. DON'T LISTEN TO STREET TALKS, e dey spoil matter Follow ups: 1. I will post here WES evaluation once it is ready 2. Just incase you are wondering, I am a FUTO Engineering graduate, got my MBA and 2 other degrees from US (I didn't need any transcript evaluations though and this was many yrs back shaa....mgbe enu bu nke nwa osa..... ![]() NB: I will be watching this post for any questions I can chip in on.... ![]() 3. I hope this encourages a lot of people out there.......YOU ARE WELL WORTH MORE THAN YOU CAN EVEN IMAGINE, HND OR NOT!! BE DILIGENT AND FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS!!! 4. Here is my brother's FCSA Evaluation: U.S. Equivalence Four years of undergraduate study in public administration, plus a one-year non-credit practicum between years two and three U.S. Semester Hours / GPA Undergraduate 141 Hrs / 3.01 Credentials 1 U.S. equivalency Four years of undergraduate study in public administration, plus a one-year practicum between years two and three Country Nigeria Credential Higher National Diploma Institution Institute of Management and Technology Date awarded December 2009 Length of program 5 years, including two-year National Diploma and one-year non-credit practicum Documents viewed Photocopy of transcript and diplomas NOTES Between the two-year National Diploma and two-year Higher National Diploma, Mr.xxxxxx completed a one-year industrial attachment (practicum) in 2006-07.

@GNwafor and for those that have done their HND evaluation thanks for your info,i must tell you I did mine with Education Credentials Evaluation in the US. And my N.D was equivalent to Associate Degree while HND was equivalent American Bachelors Degree. Do they add up both N.D and HND grades together to give a total grade?

[color=#000099][/color][img][/img][quote author=ghost87 post=10280654]Hello everyone, I have been going through this since 2009, asking questions about the equivalence of HND In US, this and that, but unfortunately I couldn't find a reliable answer, till February 2012, and I thought of sharing it cos I believe other are out there like I was before. First I would like to start by saying. YES!!!! NIGERIAN HND IS EQUIVALENT TO A US BACHELOR DEGREE. Am sure of what am saying because my HND transcripts (that's both my ND & HND) were evaluated as an American bachelors degree. I would also like to tell you that working or getting admitted into American colleges is based on American qualifications and grades, so to work or get admission into American colleges, first try and get your certificate, diploma, degree or whatever you hold into American equivalence, and you can do that by sending your transcripts to one of the evaluation agencies, WES (world Education Services) http://www.wes.org/ is accepted by almost all American colleges but you can still find out more at http://www.naces.org/members.htm For more guidelines on how to get to admission into American College with a HND a brother has helped out on his blog, and you can check it out here http://www.farooqkperogi.com/2009/12/hnd-and-american-universities.html and http://www.farooqkperogi.com/2009/03/looking-at-american-education-with_382.html I would like to share my experience: I graduated with a HND in Electronics Engineering in 2009 from a Nigerian Federal Polytechnic, and sent my transcript to World Education Services WES on October 2011, I paid $202 for the service, the evaluation is supposed to be completed in 7days once all my documents are received, but we all know our 9ja na, considering the fact that the country was in crises it took me 3months to get my transcript to WES, again early JAN 2012 WES sent back another copy to FED POLY, for verification, and at the time our beloved nation is on strike due to subsidy matter and boko haram wahala, till 1st feb 2012, that's when WES got a feed back and my application became complete, on 8th Feb, 2012, my evaluation was complete. I graduate in Nigeria with 3.14 out of 4.0 CGPA, which is of course our Upper Credit as we call it. But to my surprise from the evaluation my GPA was high to 3.56 out 4.0, that is based on the American System, moreover, in US they use a system of Credit Hours to determine your qualification, and in other to have a US bachelor degree, you must at-least have a minimum of 120 Credit Hours, but from my evaluation I had 135 Credit Hours, which is almost more-than that of the US. And as am typing this I have already applied to one of the top 15 engineering and technology university in the world for my masters program with a HND, and they have assured me that I would get it, after all am having a 3.56 GPA, and a good GRE score (GRE is an exams u sit for before applying for most graduate programs in US, its just like GMAT). But still there are some few things you should be aware of, just because your transcripts are equivalent to a US degree, doesn't mean you will not take undergraduate courses, yes you will automatically be enrolled to a masters degree, as far as you meet the requirements, but there are some certain courses that you must take which of course are undergraduate courses, and the reason is because those courses are expected by all American graduates and in other to be one, you must go through it, such courses are like those related to the American policies, government, etc. (I haven't reached that stage, am just telling you based on what the school I applied for feed me too). So to all those who keep asking, what is the equivalence of HND in US, its equivalent to a BACHELOR DEGREE ![]() If you need any proof regarding this, or guidelines don't hesitate to tell me or reply me, I promise i would help if I can, cos few years ago, I was once in the same point. Cheers! ![]() Please, I also have HND in physics/Electronics(upper Credit) with CGPA of 3.8 out of 5.0. I am also interested in doing my Masters in one of the top Universities in US. Do I also need to send my transcript to SWE or I should just look for any university that is ready to absorb me with my HND? Besides, is it a must for me to write that GRE exam before I could be admitted? Lastly, the SSCE I'm currently using is NECO, can i apply with it without doing any A Level exam? An early response shall be highly appreciated. Thnks. |

Has anyone done certificate evaluation recently (in the last 2 months) and his/her HND certificate was evaluated to Bachelor's Degree in USA? If 'yes', please let me know which evaluating company used. The US immigration denied me I-94 (TN work permit) this week because the officer was not convinced my 2 diplomas (OND and HND) should be equivalent to BSc (I had been using this same evaluation result for 10 years before now). He wants me to re-evaluate with a member of NACES body which has WES and ECE as members because there is a directive last year that makes my evaluation result no longer acceptable and the company that did the evaluation in 2007 is not a member of NACES. I graduated with HND (Lower Credit) in Civil Engineering from The Polytechnic Ibadan in 1991. 3 Likes |

Hello bro! Jst stumbled on your write up now. I must say a big thank you for the enlightenment coupled with the fact that we studied the same course, qualification and almost the same grade too. But i have some enquiries to make. 1. How did you get to apply and take the GRE exam? What are its procedure? What were the questions all about and how do i source for reading materials? 2. When you applied for your masters in the US, was it GRE that sent the school your details having confirmed and scrutinize your transcript? Or was there any document GRE sent to you which you used in applying with? 3. Is it possible for me to apply for scholarship for my Masters degree with HND? Cos what i have been seeing is first degree with 2:1. I am yet to lay hold on any scholarship with HND as part of its requirement. 4. Are you studying there presently or done with your studies? Will be glad to have your reply ASAP. My email is hamzajatto@gmail.com. Will love to have yours as well if possible. Thanks... ghost87: |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by GNwafor(m): 3:53am On Mar 15, 2017 |
jimnet: @Jimnet, All hope is not lost. I always advice people, go for the best the first time, no matter the cost, it pays. WES is a founding member of NACES in 1987. Hence, they know the length and breadth of evaluation. Also, USA Government supports and backs NACES. Two parts of the coin; If you are based in USA, then you need to apply for WES Credential Evaluation [I even did the one WES called ICAP - which means that your credential (Transcript + ND & HND Certificate) will be stored for life, any employer/educational institute that needs it, you only pay them $10 and they will forward to the employer/educational institute anytime]. So I presume that you are in the USA - then apply and pay for Course by Course Report + ICAP; then, send photocopies of your HND & ND Certificate photocopy to WES (either by their Courier address or Postal Address - you will see it at the "International Transcript Request Form" - attached) Is posted below. Thereafter, you will need to contact your school Ibadan Poly - http://www.polyibadan.edu.ng/index.html. Preferably, if a relative can help you process the Transcript, that will be better. Very Important: For transcript, WES has "International Transcript Request Form" I have attached it for you or you download at: https://www.wes.org/required/international_transcript_request.pdf Part A of the form is for you, fill it correctly with you Reg No. and other details, then submit together with the Transcript fees to Poly Ibadan and request that whoever is authorized to sign Transcript at Poly Ibadan must also fill Part B of the Form and Sign & Stamp and send it together with the Transcript directly to WES. I will suggest you tell your school to use the Courier service - FEDEX or DHL, this will be factored into the cost of the Transcript. Once you do all these, immediately WES receives your application, application fees paid online with debit/credit card, photocopy of ND & HND Certificate - make sure you write your Reference Number on all documents you are sending to them (I suggest coloured photocopies), and the Transcript together with the "International Transcript Request Form" sent directly from Poly Ibadan, then with 7 working days the evaluation will be ready. If you are in Nigeria, you will need a Dollar denominated Debit Card to make payment online, so you need to get this first. Then, apply for and pay for Course by Course Report + ICAP; then send your photocopies directly to them, request for your transcript to be sent directly to WES Office. Make sure you fill up the International Transcript Request Form and ensure that whoever that will sign your Transcript must also fill Part B of the form and sign and stamp it appropriately, and the school has to send it directly to WES - you may use Courier - FEDEX or DHL, or Registered Post. The address is: By Postal Mail: WES Reference No.____________________ World Education Services Attention: Documentation Center P.O. Box 5087 Bowling Green Station New York, NY 10274-5087 USA By Express Courier: WES Reference No.____________________ World Education Services Attention: Documentation Center 64 Beaver St. #146 New York, NY 10004 USA Once you apply and pay your fees at WES website, you will have a Unique Reference No., make sure that the address is written in the format above with your Reference No., also, Poly Ibadan must adhere to this addressing policy when sending your Transcript to them. It is very important! The truth is that WES knows that they are respected all over USA & Canada, as such they have a very strong process-driven application policy. But, if you follow these basic steps you will not have any challenges with the evaluation. Nobody gave me guide in 2012 when I did mine, yet I was able to scale through. The only clog on the wheel of progress might be the time it will take Poly Ibadan to prepare your Transcript. But start, the process is pretty straight forward. I hope this guide will help you. Best of luck. If you need anything more, am ready to assist and help. Good luck! 9 Likes 3 Shares |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by jimnet: 2:58am On Mar 20, 2017 |
Thank you very much @GNwafor. Since I already did an evaluation with WES Canada in 2010, I called WES USA, opened a new account on March 3rd, 2017 and they just transferred my already verified transcripts to my new account in US (took 3 days) and the real evaluation took another 3 days. So, I got my US credential evaluation report ready in 6 working days since I didn't have to request another set of transcripts from The Polytechnic Ibadan. The Evaluation Report came back with my 'ND' equivalent to US 'Associate degree' and 'HND' equivalent to US 'Bachelor's degree'. Thanks! 6 Likes |
