Professional Licensure Disclosure
Professional Licensure Disclosure
In many professions, licensure is required for entry into that field of specialization. The information shared on this page is meant to assist students, by providing direct disclosure on whether their program may lead to professional-level licensure within specific states.
The programs listed below were all originally designed to meet Maryland's licensure requirements. However, they may not meet requirements for your current state of residence. We encourage all students to review this information, prior to enrolling into one of these academic programs.
It is ultimately the responsibility of a student, to determine whether a certificate or degree program will meet licensure requirements for the state in which they currently reside and choose to work in.
