U.S. High School Diploma Equivalents

Before being accepted as an international student at Mesa Community College, we want to make sure that future F-1 students have reached the appropriate academic levels in their home countries. We do this by asking that students submit proof of a secondary school qualification or, in other words, the equivalent of a U.S. high school diploma for a review.

Education changes from country to country and we know that figuring out what the equivalent of finishing high school is in your country can be difficult, so we offer the following list of equivalents to make things easier.
