Certain state certification and licensure boards have specific educational requirements for programs to lead to a license or nongovernmental certification that is a precondition for employment in a recognized occupation.
Please note that licensure for certain state-regulated occupations may rely on national certification or licensure exams. Passing a national exam is not a guarantee of a graduate’s ability to obtain a state license. Purdue Global will work to disclose the most up-to-date information for prospective and current students. Students are highly encouraged to seek guidance from the appropriate licensing agency in their state of residence.
