Professional Licensure and Certifications

Boise State University is required to disclose consumer information regarding our curricular programs that “foreseeably lead” to careers requiring state licensure. This regulation requires us to determine whether or not our licensure-related programs satisfy the educational requirements for professional licensure in the states where our prospective students are located. Boise State is required to disclose for each program that leads to licensure whether:

  • The program meets the educational requirements for professional licensure in a specific state; 
  • The program does not meet the educational requirements for professional licensure in a specific state; or 
  • We have not determined whether our program meets a particular state’s educational requirements. 

Because licensing requirements differ dramatically by occupational category as well as by state, we encourage prospective students to check their state legislative codes to verify the information presented here.
