How to Get U.S. Credit for a College Course Taken in the U.K.

Degrees in the U.K. and the U.S. have many differences, from the amount of time it takes to complete the degree to the way courses are graded. If you have taken a college-level course in the U.K. and live in the U.S., you will need to have the course evaluated by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) to see if you can get credit for it in the U.S.
