Professional Licensure Disclosures

1 This determination is based on the educational and curricular requirements of each state for licensure (i.e., excluding any special, temporary licensure that may be granted) and does not imply that other requirements for licensure do not exist or have been determined to have been met by this program or that any necessary approvals for clinical placements have been secured at the time of enrollment. A license in the state of intended practice may be a requirement of entry and continuation in the program. Each student should verify their particular situation with their intended state's licensing entity.
2The terms related to licensure and certification, among others, vary by state and your state may use different terms.
