“I earned my degree from an international university. Most of my career experience spawns from companies located outside the U.S. How does my education and professional experience apply to The IIA’s eligibility requirements?”
The IIA recognizes that academic degrees differ due to cultural or societal factors. The organization does its best to accept internationally recognized professional designations as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree. In certain circumstances, educational performance may be considered when a non-degree candidate has completed more than 90 percent of the academic requirements to earn a degree. Candidates who do not possess a bachelor’s degree and who meet these circumstances should submit their educational and/or professional information with their registration forms requesting review and approval. The information must include specific details to determine equivalency.
