Foreign Degree Equivalency


To be considered for employment with Wake County Government, applicants who have obtained their education outside the United States and its territories must have their academic degree(s) validated as equivalent to the bachelor's or master's degree conferred by a regionally accredited college or university in the United States. A transcript is not sufficient proof of equivalency.
