What is a transcript analyst?

A Transcript Analyst is a professional who reviews and evaluates academic transcripts to determine course equivalency, grade point averages, and fulfillment of educational requirements for admissions, transfer, or graduation. They work for educational institutions, such as colleges or universities, and help ensure that students' previous coursework meets the necessary standards. Transcript Analysts play a key role in the admissions process, credit transfer evaluations, and sometimes in credential evaluations for international students.
