First type your question on the message board. and 2 yrs bachelor are not recognized here, and if you try to join master, they will do credit evaluation and off course they will put you in 200 or 300 level course, and according to the world education board , any science course are not transferable if it is 5 or 6 years old. No math subject are transferable if it is 10 years old. So my suggestion, try you best to do the credit evaluation and then only you can figure out from where u will have to start. But for sure, you can't join master straight, because, american education system requires many general subject which nepal's education do not teach. so you obviously must take those classes which they teach in community college or any university in ungraduate level.

The american education are far sighted, they believe people tend to change career atleast  twice in their life time but not sure of what they will, so they try to teach everything from arts, history, music, accounts, science , everything so that they can figure out later that i did that course, this is what it looks like , it just gives the basic idea unless in nepal where opportunity are less, jobs are less, government , ppl are poor, they cant afford 4 yrs of education, they have merely one choice, one opoortunity, what you r at first will be there for rest of life, but its changing nowdays. so its bad luck for you bhum, i believe you might have to do course by course evaluation or else you have to find college or programs which are interdiiciplinary, they usually accepts that. city university of new york accepts 3yrs bachelors degree.

 hello bhum,  I know you want to do your masters but the 2 yrs bachelor what u had doen't even count even an associate degree here in USA.  in American education system , course are divided in different level, such as 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 in 100 and 200 level course, you do basic course which all major has to do and you get assicate degree after you complete all the required course of 100 and 200 level in which all major have very similar classess. in 300 and 400 level course , you do you professional courses where different major have to take core classess according to their major and after you finish 300 and 400 level , they call undergradate in 500 and 600 level course, you do extreme core professional course and that is called Masters, so when you go for master, university make sure that u have all 100, 200, 300, and 400 level course are done. even if you had three years bachelor, they could have made you take some required classes and kept you in Pre-Masters.  But in your case, you have 2 yrs bachelor degree, off course you can do credit evaluation from world education service (WES). i dought  if you get enought credit.  Can you tell me what are the classes you have taken while you were in undergraduate of 2 yrs in nepal. i can tell if those classes can be transfered or not? In general, for course by course evaluation, you will need to pay 150 dollor, but some classes which are nepal base , they don't get transfer such as any subject related to nepal, like economic development of nepal or nepali parichaya or political science, nepali religion.  But couse like micro economics, macro ecomonics, business management, general communication, any math subject will be transferred. but i have already mentioned you, any science and math class which you have taken before certain years ago do not get transffered.  In American education system in 100 and 200 level, you have to take 6 credit hour of english 101 and 102 and 6 credit hour of lit 1 and lit 2. and 12 credit of behavioral science which included physology, socialogy, Art, Music, speech, and 6 credit of mic and mac economics. 8 credit of any science including lab. and rest what helps you to do you professional courses.  So i dought you have done all these classes at nepal. coz nepal's education system do not provide any of these classess. so after that just forget about thinking of 300  and 400 level.  for if you can give me hint what classes you have taken in your 2 yrs undergrad, i can give you hint if those classes will get transffered or not and if they can be transferred then you may process for credit evaluation and decided what you wana study.  Thanks

 Great post by NavinGorkhe and Yekku  above. I dont want to downgrade on Nepal's education , but education in Nepal promotes memorizing over concepts. Besides 99 % public colleges are not as good as private ones, where most public college's students(99%) engage in politics rather then study.   I dont think any colleges will accept your courses in nepal that  easy, might accept few courses but you might be required to start  from beginning(But do give a try). They will test your english skills, to basic maths etc..which isnt bad as they will help you further in your quest for advanced degrees later. One university I know accepts 3 years bachelors from Nepal into Masters Program,,University of Findlay. I am not 100% sure , if they require students to do one more year of study and complete their graduate..plz makes sure..
