About IIC
Helping people and institutions understand international education credentials.
The International Institute of California provides foreign education research and credential evaluation services that explain international academic records in U.S. terms.
Who We Are
Decades of experience across cultures and communities.
Since 1993, IIC has helped applicants and organizations interpret international education credentials for academic, employment, licensing, immigration, certification, and professional decisions.
Our background in education, research, advising, and culturally diverse communities gives us a practical understanding of the people and institutions we serve. We treat each record with accuracy, care, and respect.
Our Philosophy
Every credential carries a human story.
A credential is evidence of learning, persistence, and possibility. IIC combines academic research with cultural understanding so each evaluation honors the work behind the record while giving receiving organizations a clear basis for decisions.
