Professional Licensure Disclosures
Per the U.S. Department of Education regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v) the University of Oklahoma is obligated to disclose whether the educational requirements of programs which customarily lead to licensure or certification either: Meet Licensure Requirements, Do Not Meet Licensure Requirements, or Have Not Been Determined to Meet Licensure Requirements for each state and designated territories. The information below reflects, to the best of our knowledge, accurate information about each of these programs.
What if my program is not a distance education program?
This disclosure is required for all programs that lead to professional licensure or certification, regardless of instructional modality (i.e., online, in person, hybrid, etc.). The monitoring agency for this disclosure also monitors the university's distance education activity.
Any additional licensure or certification requirements for individual states or territories beyond education are not covered by this disclosure. Please contact individual state licensing or certification boards for additional information.
Planning to work outside of Oklahoma after graduation?
Programs at the University of Oklahoma are designed to meet the educational requirements for professional licensure or certification in the state of Oklahoma. We encourage students who intend to pursue licensure or certification outside of Oklahoma to determine if there are additional requirements beyond degree completion by contacting the relevant state's licensing/certification body directly. The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) maintains a Professional Licensure Directory for the five degree programs with the most enrollments per data reported by participating institutions. These programs are: Counseling, Nursing, Psychology, Social Work, and Teacher Education. This resource does not house regulations or requirements; it is exclusively general contact information.
