Professional licensure and certification

Arizona State University's academic programs that are designed for a specific professional license or certification are generally designed to prepare students to apply for applicable licensure or certification in Arizona where such licensure or certification exists. Completing an ASU program may not result in meeting the educational requirements for licensure or certification in any other state. Professional licensure refers to an official process, usually administered at the state level, that is required by law for an individual to practice a specific profession.

Professional licensure regulations and requirements vary from field to field, and from state to state. ASU recommends students check with the licensing board where they intend to seek licensure and practice to learn about licensing requirements and possible additional steps such as examinations, experiences, or training that may need to be fulfilled in order to obtain licensure in a particular state. 

The information provided below shares the university’s determination of whether a particular program, if successfully completed, could satisfy the educational requirements for specific professional license or certification in each state. 

These disclosures do not guarantee that a licensing board will approve or deny an application. Additionally, these disclosures do not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect an application for licensure that occurs after these disclosures have been made. Changes in state requirements after the review period could impact Arizona State University's determination of whether the program generally satisfies educational requirements in a particular state.

Relocating to a different state after admission into a degree program may impact whether a student can remain in the degree program, meet the state licensure requirements, and/or continue to receive financial aid funding. Prior to considering relocating, ASU recommends that students contact their program advisor to discuss authorization and licensure eligibility requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the institution of a change in physical location.
