DEGREE REVALIDATION IN ARGENTINA

U.S. Degrees Follow the Reválida Route

Argentina distinguishes between convalidación and reválida according to whether the country where the university degree was obtained has an applicable recognition agreement with Argentina.

The United States is not included in Argentina's current list of countries with a university degree recognition agreement. Therefore, a U.S.-issued Novaris credential would generally follow the reválida route.

Reválida is handled by a national public university. Argentina's official guidance states that applicants should contact a national public university offering the same or an equivalent academic field and consult that university about requirements, duration, and costs.
ARGENTINA'S TWO ROUTES

Convalidación vs. Reválida

The route depends on whether Argentina has a university-level recognition agreement with the country where the degree was issued.

Countries With Agreement

Convalidación

This procedure applies to university degrees obtained in countries with which Argentina has a university recognition agreement. It is processed through the competent national education authorities, sometimes with participation by an Argentine national university.

United States / Other Countries

Reválida

For university degrees from countries without an applicable recognition agreement, the procedure is carried out exclusively before an Argentine national public university offering the corresponding or comparable degree.

CONTINUING TO GRADUATE STUDY

Reválida Is Not Always Required to Enter a Postgraduate Program

Argentina's official guidance states that a foreign university degree generally does not need to be revalidated or convalidated simply for admission to postgraduate study. The receiving university may evaluate the applicant's foreign degree and curriculum directly.

An important exception applies to postgraduate programs or specialties in the Health Sciences when the academic program includes professional practice as part of the training. In those circumstances, revalidation or convalidation may be required.
