General Disclosure

Notice to students pursuing programs that may lead to a professional license or certification required for employment.

The U.S. Department of Education regulation, 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v), requires an institution to disclose whether a particular program’s curriculum offered by the institution will fulfill educational requirements for licensure or certification for each state. All states require applicants for professional engineering licensure to hold a degree from an engineering program that is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. Refer to the Professional Licensure Information for all states, where information is available.

Students should contact the appropriate state licensing agency in their state or the state where they intend to work to seek the most up-to-date information about state licensure/certification requirements before beginning the program.
