What determines if an applicant’s degree is acceptable by BOT?
A degree qualifies for non-rated and rated if the degree is from a regionally or nationally accredited institution of higher learning. The best place to check is in the current edition of the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education (AIPE), published by the American Council on Education (ACE) or on the ACE website. If the degree granting institution is not listed in AIPE, the BESO Counselor should be consulted for further guidance for assistance. Application for AF engineering specialties requires a degree that is also accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Inc. Refer to: http://www.abet.org/ to determine if a degree is ABET accredited.
