30 Miss. Code. R. 901-3.8 - Applications from Applicants with Degrees from Foreign Schools

1. Degrees recognized by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) - An applicant with an engineering degree in a curriculum recognized by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) will be considered to hold a degree equivalent to the ABET/EAC accredited degree.

2. Non-ABET or Foreign Degrees - Undergraduate engineering degrees from universities that are not ABET accredited must be evaluated by the Board-approved evaluation service(s). If the evaluation finds that a degree meets the NCEES Engineering Education Standard, the applicant will be allowed to apply. If the evaluation finds that a degree does not meet the NCEES Engineering Education Standard, the applicant will not be allowed to apply, but will be advised of the courses necessary to cure the deficiency. An applicant with an undergraduate non-ABET or foreign degree plus a graduate degree from a university in a curriculum which is ABET accredited at the undergraduate level will qualify for application; the undergraduate degree will not need to be evaluated.

3. Language Comprehension - An initial applicant for licensure as a professional engineer or surveyor whose primary language is other than English, shall submit to the Board a TOEFL (test of English), certificate with a score of five hundred fifty (550) or higher. This test shall have been taken within two years of the application date. An applicant who has received a degree from an institution in an English-speaking country will be exempt from this requirement.
