Is engineering accreditation the same for every Miami engineering degree?

No. The engineering bulletin identifies ABET accreditation for specified fields and separately states that some programmes, including Engineering Science, Chemical Engineering, Innovation, Technology and Design, and Software Engineering, are not accredited. Applicants should verify the exact programme before relying on the badge.

Does a University of Miami law degree qualify someone to practise in another country?

A U.S. J.D. or LL.M. is a university qualification, not a universal licence to practise law abroad. Students must check the bar-admission or professional-recognition rules of the jurisdiction where they intend to work.
