<p>I´m an American currently attending the University of Stavanger for petroleum engineering(Norway). I will studying abroad next year-if you can call it that. I will be returning to the US and attending texas AM for one semester, and then attending The Western university of Australia the following semester.</p>
<p>I will be getting my masters degree after undergrad(Undergrad is only 3 years in Europe, and a masters degree is generally required). I am not sure where I will be going for my masters degree, but I have already been accepted to a couple of schools.</p>
<p>Would it be a big advantage when looking for a job in the US, if I attended a school in the US for my masters degree? </p>
<p>How does it look that I have a degree from Norway? That I studied abroad?</p>
<p>I really appreciate any answers!</p>
<p>Well make sure the school you are planning to attend for your masters is part of the “Washington Accord” --a multinational organization that has equivalency agreements with the American Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). That’s what employers look for if you graduated overseas. So far these are the signatories:</p>
