Professional Licensure
If you live outside Ohio and are considering enrolling in an online program that leads to a professional license, you must contact the appropriate state Licensing Agency in your state or the state where you intend to work to verify the most up-to-date information about state licensure requirements before beginning the program.
Please note that program requirements are always subject to change and the College has no control over state licensing requirements. Although College will review the requirements found in the SARA Availability Chart on a routine basis, we strongly recommend that students inquire with the professional state licensing board to confirm that the intended program of choice will meet the requirements for licensure before enrolling.
