Notice to students pursuing programs that may lead to a professional license or certification required for employment.
The following programs may lead to a professional license or certification that is required for employment. Professional licensure/certification requirements vary from state to state, which may affect a student’s ability to apply for a professional license/certification upon the completion of the program. The U.S. Department of Education regulation, 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v), requires an institution to disclose whether the program will fulfill educational requirements for licensure or certification for each state. The administrative departments that offer the programs have made the following determination regarding their curriculum.

It should be noted that all B.S. Environmental Engineering program students are qualified to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam as the first step towards the pursuit of professional engineering licensure. The Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is preparing for accreditation of the B.S. Environmental Engineering program by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. ABET accreditation of the program is a requirement for professional engineering licensure. This process can take place after the first bachelor's degree in environmental engineering is awarded. Therefore, the ABET accreditation review is planned to take place in Fall 2022. When ABET accreditation is granted, it is retroactive for B.S. degrees conferred within two years prior of accreditation.
We recommend students 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.
