NCEES Credentials Evaluations<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

NCEES Credentials Evaluations is a service for state licensing boards and applicants. It is designed primarily for candidates who have earned their degrees outside the United States and are pursuing licensure through one of the member licensing boards<\/a> of NCEES.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Purpose of an Evaluation<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To earn a license<\/a> to practice engineering or surveying, candidates must meet requirements in three areas: education, experience, and examinations. State licensing boards sometimes require that a candidate\u2019s educational background be evaluated to ensure that it is comparable to an accredited degree in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The evaluation process helps ensure that a candidate is qualified academically for licensure. Usually, this takes place when a candidate applies to sit for a licensing exam offered by NCEES<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do I Need an Evaluation?<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

If you aren\u2019t sure whether you need a credentials evaluation through NCEES, contact your state licensing board<\/a> before you begin the process. Most applicants are referred to NCEES Credentials Evaluations by a state licensing board.<\/p>\n

You do not need an evaluation if<\/strong> your degree was accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET at the time of your graduation. ABET also accredits some programs in other countries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you aren\u2019t sure whether your degree program is EAC\/ABET-accredited, you can search for it at ABET\u2019s website: accredited program search<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are a surveyor, contact your state licensing board<\/a> to determine whether an evaluation is necessary before requesting an evaluation with NCEES.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
