Professional Licensure Disclosures


Professional Licensure 

Some academic programs offered by WKU are designed to prepare students for professional licensure or certification. Licensure and certification requirements are established by individual states and territories and may differ by jurisdiction.

WKU reviews the educational requirements for applicable professional credentials and provides jurisdiction-specific determinations for programs designed or advertised to lead to professional licensure or certification.

 

Verify Your Program Works for You

Before enrolling in a program that leads to professional licensure, you should review WKU’s determination for the state or territory where you are physically located and for any jurisdiction in which you intend to seek the professional credential.

If your intended licensure location changes or you relocate while enrolled, review the applicable determination and contact your program advisor to determine whether the change in location affects your ability to complete the program or pursue the credential.

In addition to our university accreditation with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), many individual WKU programs hold specialized professional accreditations.

Understanding WKU's Licensure Determinations

Each determination addresses whether a WKU program meets the educational requirements for a specific professional credential in a given state or territory.

 

WKU has determined that the program meets the jurisdiction’s educational requirements for the identified professional credential.
WKU has determined that the program does not meet one or more of the jurisdiction’s educational requirements for the identified professional credential.
WKU does not currently have sufficient information to determine whether the program meets the jurisdiction’s educational requirements.
The identified professional credential is not applicable to this program in the selected jurisdiction.

 

The determination alone does not guarantee that a particular graduate will receive

a license or certification.

 

  • Educational Requirements are Only One Part of Licensure

States and territories may impose additional licensure-related requirements beyond educational preparation. These may include licensing examinations, supervised clinicals or field experiences, criminal background checks, jurisprudence exams, applications and fees, or other requirements. WKU notes these requirements when known but advises students directly consult the applicable licensing or certification authority in their target location.

  • State Authorization Is a Separate Requirement

Professional licensure and state authorization are separate regulatory requirements. Professional licensure disclosures address whether an academic program meets the educational criteria for a professional credential. State authorization governs WKU's ability to provide interstate educational activities based on a student's physical location. Students participating in online courses, distance education, or out-of-state learning placements should also review WKU’s State Authorization page.
