What is State Authorization<\/h2>\n

State Authorization refers to federal, state and professional licensing board regulations that impact online education offered across state lines. Compliance with these regulations ensures that a degree from 91心頭利 will be recognized. However, the requirements for licensure vary from state to state.<\/p>\n

Professional Licensure\/Certification<\/h2>\n

Under SARA regulations, certain disclosures are required for academic programs leading to professional licensure regardless of the modality they are offered. However, at 91心頭利, these professional academic programs are offered to students and are designed to fulfill the educational prerequisites for licensure only in Minnesota<\/strong>. This means that, when a student graduates from these BSU programs, they have the minimum educational qualifications to apply for Minnesota licensure. For other U.S. states and territories, this may or may not be the case. These educational requirements vary from state to state.<\/p>\n

Bemidji State makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification information is current; however, state requirements may change. Separate from educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, jurisprudence exams, etc. If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Minnesota, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state, territory or country to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements before beginning an academic program.<\/p>\n

Professional licensure is ultimately the responsibility of the graduate. Licensure and certification are post-graduation processes and cannot be completed without a posted degree. To assist students who now live or may one day live outside of Minnesota, BSU, provides licensing board contact information, educational requirements for licensure and program approval status.<\/p>\n
