I believe my practice has improved greatly since attending the CIMA program. I’m now able to demystify portfolio management by better setting client expectations and moderating their behavior through financial education. Read about Alex's experience »

I am very happy to report that I passed the CIMA exam! Although I was part of the educational program at another school, there is no way I could have passed without the Chicago Booth review program and having been also granted access to the Chicago Booth CIMA program educational materials and live session videos. Kathleen’s voice was a constant companion as I listened to classes driving and even while on family vacation. Thank you so very much!

The University of Chicago has a well-planned approach to teaching the CIMA curriculum. All of the important concepts are covered in a clear, concise format. The professors really want to make sure you understand the material and go to great lengths to provide intuition behind some of the math concepts. The class is very interactive and the faculty make themselves easily accessible throughout the class. I strongly recommend this program to anyone considering attaining the designation.
—Todd Muentzer, CIMA®, ETF Specialist
This was a great overall experience. Kathleen does a great job presenting and reviewing the content. It was also beneficial to connect with other students preparing for the exam.
—Jon Maldonado, Financial Advisor, UBS Financial Services
Excellent program with in-depth analysis of calculation needed for course material.
—Robert Filetti, Robert Baird
This class was far above my expectations. This is a great value for the cost.
—Alicia Frye, Regional Business Consultant, Symmetry Partners
I got the passing score I needed to finally achieve my CIMA credentials. I was and am still ecstatic about this accomplishment and absolutely credit it to the Chicago Booth workshop and team for helping me get here. I would tell anyone interested in the CIMA program or who is trying to finish the certification process that the Booth workshop is the way to go.
—Jen Litton, CDFA, CIMA®
Having the two day review class at Booth is a major differentiator from the other education programs. Having a two day intensive review upon completion of the material helped me identify areas of weakness that I needed to focus on before the exam and embolden my confidence in the material I knew well coming into the exam.

When can I take the FE exam?
To be eligible to take the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering exam, you must meet the following requirements:
- Completed 90 credits
- Achieved senior status
- Be enrolled in mostly 400-level courses toward your engineering degree
- Be enrolled in the ENGR 490 section assigned to your major department
- Section 1002-Chemical & Materials Science Engr
- Section 1003-Civil & Environmental Engr
- Section 1004-Electrical & Biomedical Engr
- Section 1005-Mechanical Engr
- Section 1006-Geological Engr
- Section 1007-Metallurgical & Mining Engr
For seniors ready to take the FE exam, you will still need to register for ENGR 490 the semester you plan on taking the exam. Please be mindful that if you plan on graduating in the semester you take the exam, you will need to take the exam no later than prep day to allow for adequate processing time (uploading your exam proof). Otherwise, this may delay your diploma.
CSE students are not required to take the FE exam.
The exam will be held at any NCEES-approved testing facility year round at a testing day and time that you choose. Do not wait to sign up for an exam date! If you choose to wait to sign up for the test in the middle of or later in the semester, the testing center dates will most likely be FULL! This may cause a delay, or even denial, in receiving your diploma if you are taking the exam in your last semester. Yes, it is an expensive test, but isn't it more expensive to have wait an extra semester for your diploma?
How do I sign up for the FE exam?
Register for the exam on the NCEES website.
How do I prepare for the FE exam?
You may access and review the current FE Supplied Reference Manual, the same type you'll be using during the examination, on the NCEES website.
Study sessions are often organized by the student chapters of ASCE and ASME once a semester. Emails will be sent to students enrolled in ENGR 490, and flyers will be posted on the College's Facebook page. There is often a small cost in order to attend each session.
Please contact Sam DiMuzio (sadimuzio@unr.edu) with any questions about review sessions.
Once you've passed the FE exam
Go to the Nevada State Board of Engineering website and apply for Engineer Intern certification. Instructions on how to apply can be found on their website.
Ready to take the early PE exam?
More information about the early PE exam can be found on the Nevada State Board of Engineers website.
