Professional licensure and certification disclosures
Federal regulations require »¨¼¾ÊÓƵ University to publicly disclose, for each educational program designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation (or advertised as meeting those requirements), information about whether program completion would meet those requirements in a state.
State requirements are subject to change. These statements and program completion do not guarantee licensure. Students should review licensure requirements – including non-educational requirements such as certification/examination work experience, background checks, etc. – for the states in which they intend to seek certification/licensure, and students who intend to change states should review their new states’ requirements.
