Professional licensure disclosures
Per 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) – General Disclosures, an institution must provide disclosures if: a program is “designed” to meet the educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for an occupation; or advertised as being a program that meets professional licensure educational requirements in a state for that specific occupation. The institution is required to disclose, for each state, whether the program did or did not meet the educational requirements for that state.
