The United States Department of Education (via 34 CFR Part 668) requires institutions that provide distance education to disclose information for programs leading to professional certification or licensure. The expectation is that institutions will determine whether each applicable academic program meets state professional licensure requirements and provide a general disclosure of such on an official university website.
Professional licensure requirements vary from state-to-state and can change year-to-year; they are established in a variety of state statutes, regulations, rules, and policies; and they center on a range of educational requirements, including degree type, specialized accreditation, total credits, specific courses, and examinations. If a student intends to apply for licensure in a state other than Wisconsin upon completion of their program, they are strongly encouraged to inquire with the respective state’s licensing board to confirm that they will meet the licensure requirements in the intended state.
UW-Milwaukee has taken reasonable efforts to determine whether each program satisfies the educational requirements for certification/licensure in states where prospective and enrolled students are located and is disclosing that information as follows. This information is based on the most recent annual review of state agency certification/licensure data and is subject to change.
