PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE DISCLOSURE

Mississippi Licensure

All programs of Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ are designed to meet the licensure standards set by the Mississippi Department of Education and prepare students to sit for licensure/certification exams in Mississippi. 

Licensure Requirements Generally

Licensing boards require more than successful degree completion to obtain a license or certification and laws relating to licensure/certification may change at any time, which may affect the educational requirements for licensure/certification. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

In addition to educational requirements, the licensing boards for each of the states and the  protectorates (American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, Puerto Rico, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Virgin Islands) may require applicants to meet other requirements including, but not limited to,  age, citizenship, examinations, clinical hours, criminal background checks, professional experience (which may require years of experience), residency, and specialized courses (not offered as part of any institutional curriculum) (i.e., History of the State, Ethics), etc.

RECOMMENDATION  

If you are considering a program at Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ that leads to licensure or certification and you do not live in the State of Mississippi, it is our recommendation that you contact the appropriate state licensing agency in their state or the state where you intend to work

This will allow you to obtain the most up-to-date information about state licensure requirements before beginning any of our licensure/certification programs.

UPDATES

  • Due to the frequency at which requirements change, data on this page is only accurate as of the date listed below.
    • The information contained on this page was last updated on 7/1/2024.
  • Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure/certification are updated:
    • annually   

AND

    • when changes are discovered 
      • If Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ discovers that a program no longer meets the licensure/certification requirements of any state or protectorate, this page will be updated. 

LICENSURE

For all programs marketed or designed as leading to licensure or certification, the following federal regulations must be complied with by institutions of higher education:

For Online Programs

34 CFR 668.14(b)(32)

All programs that lead to licensure/certification must meet the educational requirements in each state and protectorate in which any of their students are located at the time of initial enrollment or in the state in which a student attests they intend to seek employment.  Students cannot be enrolled into programs if the educational requirements are not met unless they are moving to a state in which the requirements are met and execute an attestation confirming their future relocation. 

For Face-to-Face Programs

Regulation- 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v)

All programs that lead to licensure/certification must disclose whether the program meets, does not meet or if a determination cannot be made as to whether the program meets the educational requirements in each state and protectorate. 

Since the program is a face-to-face program, students can be admitted even if the state in which they previously resided is a state in which the program does not meet the educational requirements for licensure/certification. 

Determinations

Determinations made by our subject matter experts (program coordinators) are made based on state licensing board rules and regulations or reciprocity agreements.

For information on teaching reciprocity, please see the NASDTEC website-

SCOPE OF PROGRAM ASSESSMENT

  • The information provided in the following tables is an assessment of whether the educational program, if successfully completed, meets a state or protectorate’s educational requirements for licensure/certification. 
  • Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ's analysis is limited to a determination as to whether their programs meet the educational requirements for licensure. 
  • Additional requirements are involved in obtaining a license as noted in the Additional Requirements section of this page. 

ROLE OF LICENSING/CERTIFICATION BOARD

Keep in mind that final eligibility determinations as to whether a program meets the educational requirements for licensure are made by the state/protectorate licensing/certification boards.
