Professional Licensure Disclosure

Pursuant to 34 CFR §668.43, Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification.

Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) offers multiple academic programs designed to meet educational requirements for a professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation in Tennessee. Admission to a program does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Completion of an MTSU program may not meet educational requirements for licensure in other U.S. states or territories. Licensing authorities for each state set and enforce their own requirements and standards, which are subject to change. State requirements may include additional and recurring requirements such as an application, supervision, examinations, continuing education, fees, fingerprinting, background check, etc. MTSU strongly recommends that students who are not located in Tennessee or who plan to seek licensure or certification outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate licensing agency or board before enrolling in an academic program designed to lead to licensure or certification and discuss their plans with an advisor. This will ensure that students have the most up-to-date information and guidance regarding state licensure requirements.

A list of programs with information on how to obtain current licensure and certification requirements for states and territories is available on MTSU’s Institutional Disclosures for Consumers webpage. This information will be reviewed and updated annually.
