National Boards – Part I All Optometry students take a three-part national board examination (NBEO) prior to graduation. Passage is required for licensure. SUNY Optometry students have been highly successful in passing all parts of the NBEO prior to graduation. In 2015, 97% of all SUNY Optometry graduating students passed all parts of the Boards, well above the national average of 85% (Figure 8). Two students who did not pass the boards were foreign students and did not plan to practice in the US, while 100% of those practicing in the US passed the Boards.
