As students progress through the ICO curriculum, and provided they remain in good academic standing, they will be certified eligible to take the National Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) series of examinations. The National Board Examinations are required for licensure by every state in the U.S. and are recognized with increasing frequency in Canadian provinces. ICO students historically exceed the national pass rate on all parts of the NBEO exam.
