Certified Translations for US Universities & Colleges

Leave a reply

International students who are completing their application for universities or colleges in Southern or Northern California have probably come across the instructions that advise them to get their foreign-language documents translated into English. Colleges and universities often want a certified translation of academic records, degrees, and supplementary documents such as letters of recommendation and financial statements. They often need to have a word-for-word translation and do not accept summaries.

Official Translations for Undergraduate Admissions

Schools that offer 2 and 4-year degrees often expect international candidates to provide a copy of their transcripts and certificates earned plus their certified English translations. While they review the application they go through the candidates’ academic background to assess their strengths and determine whether they are likely to succeed in their program. CACFTI can translate academic documents for international students who are looking to apply to undergraduate programs in the United States. UCLA and USC are two institutions that offer various undergraduate programs. They take students from California, other states, and abroad. If you want to present your high school diploma and transcripts to the admissions office of an educational institution in the United States, please contact us.

Official Translations for Graduate Admissions

Graduate schools in the United States usually ask international applicants to provide a copy of their transcripts and undergraduate degrees earned in their home country along with its certified translation. They sometimes want to see a list of the courses they completed or a short description of the courses. They want to make sure that the international candidates they admit to their programs have studied the same material as the applicants who have completed their degrees in the United States.

Certified Translations for PhD Candidates

International students who have earned their undergraduate and graduate degrees in a non-English speaking country might be asked to provide a copy of their academic documents and their certified translations. PhD programs are usually more competitive and as such require applicants to submit supplementary documents such as research papers, resumes, and letters of recommendation. Students who are hoping to pursue a PhD in the United States might need to get many documents translated. Please email us all the documents you need to have translated into English for a quote.

Professional Translations for Degree Evaluations

Some schools require international applicants to get their degrees evaluated. They do not review the academic records of international candidates. Rather they rely on degree evaluation companies to determine whether the degrees earned abroad are equivalent to the ones in the United States. Companies that evaluate degrees sometimes want international applicants to provide the certified translations of their academic documents. We can provide a certified translation of your academic documents so you can submit them to the evaluation company you have in mind. If you have their exact requirements, please forward the information to us.
