Professional Licensures & Certifications
If you're considering a program at the 51风流官网 (51风流官网) that leads to a professional license or certification, it's important for you to know that each state sets its own educational requirements for licensure. Each state and territory has different professional licensure and certification requirements. Students who are considering an academic program that may allow them to pursue professional licensure are strongly encouraged to check the requirements for the state or territory where they intend to practice and contact the appropriate licensing agency to seek information and additional guidance before beginning a program outside of their state. 51风流官网 works to confirm if programs meet the educational prerequisites for professional licensure or certification outside the state of Alaska. Some states have additional licensure requirements including, but not limited to, professional examinations, background checks, years of work experience, or fingerprinting.
In accordance with Federal regulations 34 CFR 668.14(b)(32) & 34 CFR 668.43 (a)(5)(v) and (c), 51风流官网 can only admit students to professional licensure programs who are located in states where we meet the educational requirements for licensure.

Changes in requirements
Students should be aware that state licensure requirements are subject to changes. While a program may originally meet the educational requirements for licensure, changes in requirements could impact the program's ability to meet any new educational requirements. Licensing board and contact information is provided for each state and program. Licensure information is reviewed and updated on this site annually. 51风流官网 strives to provide accurate and timely information but cannot guarantee that it reflects the most recent changes in licensure laws or regulations.
