How can I get my academic credentials accepted in the US

How can I get my academic credentials accepted in the US?
I recently moved from London California, USA. I have a MA Tourism Management degree from London and a Bachelor of Tourism degree from Kampala, Uganda. My worry is that most employers don't accept my papers. Does any one know any agency that can translate my papers to US equivalent? Please advice me on what I can do. Thanks

The UK degree will be acceptable to US employers. The Ugandan degree might normally not be, but because it was accepted by the UK university, that may make it acceptable to most US employers. You can have your educational credentials certified as their US equivalents via an educatoinal credential evaluation company, like this one: http://www.ece.org/ If you do this now, you can mention in your cover letter to employers that your foreign degrees are the equivalents of those in the US, and that you've had that certified. This should put to rest any concerns that US employers might have about your degrees.
