Hi all,
I would appreciate whether someone may direct me how could I get access to the proper US federal authority in order to check out about academic technical institutes and whether they permitted to provide B.Sc. / M.Sc. grade.
I'm not US citizen, trying to dig some info for a friend that intends to learn in the US.

Thank you very much in advance.
 

RE: B.Sc. / M.Sc. grade - USA

For engineering schools in the U.S., you want to check that the programes are ABET accredited.

RE: B.Sc. / M.Sc. grade - USA

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but I don't think there's a federal authority involved here in the US.  If you're trying to find qualified educational institutions (at least in engineering), you probably want to talk to ABET (http://www.abet.org/).  They are generally considered to be the standard by which a school is considered qualified or not by employers/other schools.

Thanks Overvoltage.

ABET website links to CHEA organization:
http://www.chea.org/default.asp

It sounds like an "official like" organization, isn't it?

You have been given excellent advice by TheTick, Overvoltage and IRStuff.  For accredidation, ABET sets the standards.

Also, for your information US Federal Agencies (i.e., the US Government, usually have an extension of ".gov" rather than ".org" or ".com."  Here's the link to the "front door" for Federal Agencies :  www.usa.gov

At this site, your friend will find information relating to Visas and anything else to allow him/her to legally attend school in the USA.

Gents,

The only detail that could present a problem is that most schools only get their Undergraduate programs accredited and not their M.Sc. or MS. Eng.
