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 or whether the institution is unable to make such a determination.
