No, an HND (Higher National Diploma) is not directly equivalent to a BSc (Bachelor of Science) in the US. While an HND represents a significant achievement and provides valuable skills, it's generally considered a sub-degree or a vocational qualification, placing it below a bachelor's degree in the US higher education system.
US universities will likely require further study to equate an HND to a BSc. The exact requirements would vary depending on the university and the specific HND and BSc programs. Some options might include additional coursework or bridging programs.
