Professional Licensure Disclosure

Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure meets the educational requirements for licensure in the U.S. state where the institution is located and the U.S. states where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. states where the program is advertised as meeting such requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. state where students attest they intend to be licensed.

The following ABET-accredited, bachelor-level engineering degree programs at Stony Brook University are registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meet the educational requirements for licensure as a professional engineer in New York State:

Biomedical Engineering, BE
Chemical and Molecular Engineering, BE
Civil Engineering, BE
Computer Engineering, BE
Computer Science, BS
Electrical Engineering, BE
Electrical Engineering, BS (online)
Engineering Science, BE
Mechanical Engineering, BE

Graduates from ABET-accredited bachelor level engineering degree programs are eligible to become registered professional engineers (P.E.) in all U.S states and territories by a process of two examinations (the FE and PE exams) and documentation of engineering work experience. Because the aforementioned Stony Brook University degree programs are all ABET-accredited, bachelor-level engineering degree programs, successful completion of any of the programs satisfies the educational requirements for professional engineering licensure in all U.S. states and territories.

Stony Brook University is not the engineering licensure authority in any U.S. state or territory and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a professional engineering license in any U.S. state or territory. Instead, it is incumbent on each individual candidate to contact the engineering licensure authority in the applicable U.S. state or territory for any further guidance on the requirements for engineering licensure and the application processes.
