Can an education from the philippines be used in America?

I've heard two sides to this. Asking for a friend;

So lets say I wanted to pursue a bachelors and masters in organizational psychology / management. If I get that in the Philippines (preferable cause it's inexpensive and way cheaper compared to the same education from a college in America), can I use that education in America? Seems like all one would have to do is take a board exam.

Two sides to this; one is that some friends have said that America won't accept education of any kind from the Philippines, while on the other hand, a friend of mine has a cousin whose mother got education to be a nurse in the Philippines, then moved over to America and is now making easily $72k+ annually.

Specifically, my friend is planning on going to college at Saint Louis University in Baguio City in the Philippines and then moving back to America to attempt to find a job. He wants to pursue a career in industrial-organizational psychology.

Any information to help my friend and I out about this as well as debunk some rumors and put them to rest would be highly appreciated, please and thank you!
