NCARB collaborates with how many jurisdictions, including the 50 states and various territories?

• A. 50 jurisdictions including the 50 states.
• B. 60 jurisdictions including additional territories.
• C. 55 jurisdictions including the 50 states, District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
• D. 45 jurisdictions including only the states.

Answer: (C)

NCARB collaborates with 55 jurisdictions. This includes all 50 states plus District of Columbia and five U.S. territories (Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands). The total reflects the broad network of boards that participate in NCARB’s licensure processes, enabling reciprocity and recognition of licensure across these jurisdictions. That’s why the number is 55, not just 50, 60, or 45.
