If you are in a program that you believe leads to licensure but you do not see it listed, please fill out the Potential Professional Licensure/Certification Program Reporting Form by clicking on button below:

STUDENT ROLE IN PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE

Students should read all the information regarding the program in which they are interested/are about to enroll to determine if the program leads to licensure in the location that the student is located at the time the student enrolls (i.e., during the first initial semester at the time at which they pay for courses) to verify that the program leads to licensure. If you have questions regarding licensure, contact the program coordinator listed on the program page and contact the state licensing board, using the licensing information contained on the program licensure page. Keep in mind licensure approval depends on the rules and regulations in effect at the time of your licensure application. Said rules and regulations are overseen by the professional licensing board who oversees the profession.

PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE DISCLOSURE

LICENSING DISCLOSURE INFORMATION

For all programs marketed or designed as leading to licensure or certification, the following federal regulations must be complied with by institutions of higher education:

For Online Programs

34 CFR 668.14(b)(32)

All programs that lead to licensure/certification must meet the educational requirements in each state and protectorate in which any of their students are located at the time of initial enrollment or in the state in which a student attests they intend to seek employment. Students cannot be enrolled into programs if the educational requirements are not met unless they are moving to a state in which the requirements are met and execute an attestation confirming their future relocation.

For Face-to-Face Programs

Regulation- 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v)

All programs that lead to licensure/certification must disclose whether the program meets, does not meet or if a determination cannot be made as to whether the program meets the educational requirements in each state and protectorate.

Since the program is a face-to-face program, students can be admitted even if the state in which they previously resided is a state in which the program does not meet the educational requirements for licensure/certification.

DETERMINATIONS

Determinations made by our subject matter experts (program coordinators) are made based on state licensing board rules and regulations and/or reciprocity agreements.

For information on teaching reciprocity, please see the NASDTEC website- https://www.nasdtec.net/page/InterstateAgreements

SCOPE OF PROGRAM ASSESSMENT

The information provided regarding 麻豆传媒 programs represents an assessment of whether the educational program, if successfully completed, meets a state or protectorate鈥檚 educational requirements for licensure/certification.
麻豆传媒's analysis is limited to a determination as to whether their programs meet the educational requirements for licensure.
Additional requirements may be required to obtain a license or state certification. For a list of potential additional requirements, see the Professional Licensure webpage- /professional-licensure-certification-disclosures/index.php

ROLE OF LICENSING/CERTIFICATION BOARD

Keep in mind that final eligibility determinations as to whether a program meets the educational requirements for licensure are made by the state/protectorate licensing/certification boards.

TIMEFRAME OF DISCLOSURES

The disclosure data is current as of July 1 of each year (starting with 2024) unless the institution is apprised of a change which requires an update prior to the July 1st annual update. Federal Law requires that if an institution discovers that a program no longer leads to licensure or certification, the institution must notify the students (both enrolled and prospective) of the change directly (individual disclosure) as well as updating the webpage.

APPROPRIATE USE OF DISCLOSURE DATA

Review the information about the licensure program and then consider discussing the information with the program coordinator as well as the state licensing board.

LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS GENERALLY

Licensing boards require more than successful degree completion to obtain a license or certification and laws relating to licensure/certification may change at any time, which may affect the educational requirements for licensure/certification.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

In addition to educational requirements, the licensing boards for each of the states and the protectorates (American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, Puerto Rico, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Virgin Islands) may require applicants to meet other requirements including, but not limited to, age, citizenship, examinations, clinical hours, criminal background checks, professional experience (which may require years of experience), residency, and specialized courses (not offered as part of any institutional curriculum) (i.e., History of the State, Ethics), etc.

MISSISSIPPI LICENSURE

All programs of The University of 麻豆传媒 are designed to meet the licensure standards set by the Mississippi Department of Education and prepare students to sit for licensure/certification exams in Mississippi.

RECOMMENDATION
