PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE

Professional Licensure

As required by the U.S. Department of Education Code of Federal Regulations, colleges and universities must communicate publicly and directly to prospective and current students if programs leading to a license or certification meet other state’s requirements. City College is unable to determine that all programs meet the requirements of any other states besides Florida.

If your chosen career requires licensure or certification, please note that requirements vary by state. There are occasions when individual states have requirements further than Florida mandates, even though graduates are eligible for a national certification exam.

In compliance with 34 CFR 668.43 City College has made a reasonable effort to determine graduate eligibility for licensure in all states for applicable programs. All prospective and current students should be advised that due to the frequent changes to state statutes, rules, and regulations City College cannot guarantee licensure based on the lists below.
