I see that “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be a program of 3 or more years” gives additional few points. My background includes:

• ⁠4 years of BSc in Computer Science at a well known accredited University in the U.S. (so I definitely meet the "must be a program of 3 or more years" criteria).
• ⁠Certificate which required at least 18 credit hours of Data Analytics from the same college taken during my BSc.


1. ⁠So can I claim Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degree, one must be a program of 3 or more years? Or do I have to claim only 1 Bachelors degree? The thing with the certificate is that the 18 credit hours were taken over multiple years during my undergrad so I believe it should satisfy the requirement of 1 year of certificate?
2. ⁠I also have only 1 transcript which says that I had 1 BSc in Computer Science and 1 Certificate. It doesn’t list which courses were taken for Bachelors and which courses were taken for Certificate - but there was no overlap (“double dipping”) at all. Is that an issue?
3. ⁠Would it matter if I choose a less strict ECA agency like IQAS or CES?
