Licensure and Certification Disclosure
If you are a student or prospective student interested in an educational program that may lead to professional licensure or certificate, you should be aware of certain policies or information important for your success.
Dakota State University programs that lead to professional licensure or certification are intended to prepare a student for potential licensure or certification in South Dakota. If you are planning to seek professional licensure or certification outside South Dakota, it is important for you to know the specific requirements of the state in which you intend to apply for licensure or certification. DSU may not be able to provide programs leading to licensure in all states due to their laws and regulations. Contact the applicable licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements specific to that state.
If you are considering a program that leads to professional licensure or certification, it is a good idea to learn more about licensure requirements for your profession. Feel free to contact the DSU personnel with direct oversight of the academic program you are interested in for licensure and certification requirements.
