Professional Licensure Disclosures
Pursuant to 34 CFR ยง668.43, 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.

Disclosure information will be reviewed and updated annually.
