Accreditation and Professional Licensure
Choosing a degree program is an important step toward achieving your educational and career goals. As a military-connected student, you may also need to consider how future duty assignments, relocations or career transitions could affect your plans.
Boise State University provides resources to help you verify accreditation and understand professional licensure requirements before making enrollment decisions.
Verify Boise State’s Accreditation
Boise State University is institutionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Some degree programs also hold specialized accreditation from professional accrediting organizations.
You can review accreditation information through these resources:
- University Accreditation: Review Boise State’s institutional accreditation status and information about NWCCU.
- Academic Catalog: Find your intended degree program, review its academic requirements and check for specialized program accreditation.
Verify Professional Licensure Requirements
Some careers, including nursing, teaching and counseling, require professional licensure or certification. Requirements vary by state, so it is important to understand whether your intended degree program meets the educational requirements in the state where you plan to work.
How to verify your program’s licensure information:
- Visit Boise State’s Professional Licensure Disclosures webpage.
- Find your intended degree program.
- Review the program’s state-specific licensure information to determine whether it meets educational requirements in your intended state.
- Consult the appropriate state licensing agency to verify any additional requirements.
Important: Completing a degree does not guarantee professional licensure or certification.
Licensure requirements vary by state and may include examinations, supervised experience, background checks or other qualifications. Boise State provides state-specific professional licensure information to support informed educational decisions. Students should also verify current requirements with the licensing agency in the state where they intend to practice.
Planning for a Permanent Change of Station or Relocation?
If you anticipate a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), military separation or other relocation, we encourage you to review professional licensure requirements in any state where you may seek employment.
Understanding these requirements early can help you choose a program that aligns with your long-term career goals.
We encourage you to review these resources before enrolling in a degree program or requesting military Tuition Assistance.
