DEGREE RECOGNITION IN BOLIVIA

Recognition Depends on the Credential and Intended Use

Bolivia uses revalidation, recognition, and homologation procedures for certain academic diplomas and professional titles obtained abroad. The competent route can vary according to the academic level, field of study, nationality, intended professional use, and the institution or authority responsible for the procedure.

Official Bolivian information describes revalidation as the recognition of titles and diplomas earned at foreign universities and other university-level institutions recognized by the State in which they operate.

There is no automatic recognition simply because a degree is issued in the United States. The individual credential and supporting documentation must satisfy the requirements of the applicable Bolivian procedure.
