The U.S. Department of Education, under regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v), requires the College to disclose whether or not our programs will meet the educational requirements for professional licensure or certification in all of the U.S. states and territories. However, please note that licensing requirements can vary drastically by state and change over time.
While CSS researches licensure requirements annually, the College cannot guarantee licensure for any student. In addition to educational requirements for licensure, other requirements such as exams, specialized training, supervised post-graduation clinical experience, criminal background checks with fingerprinting, U.S. citizenship, and additional requirements may apply.
We encourage students who may live out-of-state or intend to test or apply for licensure or certification outside of Minnesota to review the educational program licensure requirements in the state they intend to practice and share the out-of-state information with College representatives and program officials.
