Professional Licensure/Certification Disclosures

Federal regulations require Western Michigan University to publicly disclose, for each educational program designed to meet the educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation (or advertised as meeting those requirements), information about whether program completion would meet a given state’s educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation (regardless of whether the program is offered on-ground, online, or hybrid). 

All current and prospective WMU students are encouraged to contact the applicable professional licensure/certification boards in their respective states for additional information regarding professional licensure/certification requirements, including, without limitation, information regarding any non-educational requirements (such as work experience, background clearance, or examination by outside entities). Students enrolled in a professional licensure program who are considering moving or working in another state should review the professional licensure disclosure for the state in which they intend to practice and discuss the state requirements with an admissions counselor or academic advisor.  WMU makes every effort to offer current information on the educational requirements for professional licensure, however state professional licensure/certification requirements are subject to change at any time. Further, requirements for licensure/certification and/or endorsement eligibility may vary by state.

The information in the table should not be construed as guaranteeing that any particular professional licensure/certification authority will approve a student’s application; nor should the information in the table be read to imply that other requirements for professional licensure/certification do not exist or that other requirements for professional licensure/certification have been determined to have been met by WMUs program/course, or that any necessary approvals for clinical or other experiential learning placements are secured by virtue of a student’s enrollment at WMU.
