Below is a list of programs that are designed for professional licensure along with information to comply with 34 §C.F.R. 668.43 and NC-SARA Policy Manual v. 22.1 § 5.2

Licensure is individual. Only licensure boards or agencies can determine whether a program has met requirement. These boards and agencies make that determination after someone graduates or completes the program and applies for license. After all reasonable efforts, we have provided our best assessment of how our program matches up to educational requirements for the license. Mississippi University for Women cannot guarantee the ability to earn any professional license, in any field, in any state or territory.

Additional requirements. Completing a program is typically only one part of the professional licensure requirements. Most states require that individuals meet additional requirements in order to qualify for licensure, including but not limited to additional coursework and training, supervised clinical experiences, and successful passage of state or national exams. Other licensure requirements typically include, but are not limited to, fees, background checks, years of work experience, references, fingerprinting requirements, etc.

Potential changes in requirements. Licensure information is reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Licensure requirements are subject to changes at any time. While a program may meet the educational requirements at the time you enroll, changes in requirements could impact the program’s ability to meet new educational requirements. Students should periodically check with state licensure board or agency in the state(s) they intend to work in to confirm licensure requirements.

Professional Licensure by State

Academic program leaders who operate units that offer academic programs reasonably assumed to lead to professional licensure or certification are responsible for determining whether their academic programs meet applicable state education requirements for professional licensure or certification. These disclosures indicate, as of July 2024, the states where the University has determined through reasonable, good faith effort that such programs:

• Do meet the applicable professional licensure education requirements;
• Do not meet the applicable professional licensure education requirements
