6.1 International Degrees

Applicants possessing their degrees from a non-US institution may be asked to submit the relevant university transcript to provide the DSCC with information to help it understand the equivalence to US advanced degrees. The ASA reserves the right to use an independent source to judge the equivalence of such degrees and reserves the right to charge the applicant for those costs (after duly advising the applicant of the cost).
