Albanians newcomers to the USA who have received diplomas as graduates of universities or institutes of higher learning in Albania and other countries of Europe should have their diplomas evaluated to determine their equivalency to degrees offered by USA colleges and universities. This is important when seeking to continue with academic studies or for professional employment purposes.

Evaluation standards for reviewing foreign diplomas are those recommended by the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials. In response to many inquiries, The Frosina Foundation is pleased to list the following organizations that are qualified to review foreign diplomas and to issue certification of their USA equivalency:

Frosina Thought of the Month (Mendimi i Muajit)
"Eshte e veshtire te deshtosh: por eshte me keq kur nuk ke provuar kurre te arrish sukses."
It is hard to fail; but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
-Theodore Roosevelt (Teodor Rusvelt)
