Is a masters degree from out of the country recognized in the USA as coming from an accredited university?

Question

I'm applying to a number of schools looking to get a masters degree in conservation biology overseas (England, Germany, Scotland, New Zealand). I am not sure whether I will be coming back to the USA. I have my EU and American citizenship.

Answer 1

Well, it would be recognised as coming from an accredited school, if it has accreditation by a Government recognised accrediting agency. There are a lot of fake universities in Europe too. Check if the school you re applying to has obtained all formal accreditations and recognitions necessary for its degrees to be considered as valid and thus in a position to be used legally for the purposes of both higher education and employment.
