Professional Licensing Information
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, specifically 34 CFR 668.43 require disclosures by institutions regarding educational requirements for programs leading to professional licensure or certification regardless of modality. The information on this website is developed to inform students and other stakeholders about Florida Tech programs that lead to professional licensure or certification. Programs omitted from this list are not intended to lead to professional licensure or certification.
As a member of NC-SARA and other state authorizations, Florida Tech is currently authorized to offer online education in all 50 states, commonwealths, and territories. However, SARA has no effect on state professional licensing requirements. Any institution approved to participate in SARA that offers courses or programs designed to lead to professional licensure or certification or advertised as leading to licensure must satisfy all federal requirements for disclosures regarding such professional licensure programs under §34 C.F.R. 668.43. For SARA purposes, these requirements will also apply to non-Title IV institutions.
Florida Tech works to confirm if programs meet the educational prerequisites for professional licensure or certification. State licenses or certifications may be necessary for certain occupations or employment, and requirements vary depending on the state or territory in which a student intends to work. Requirements can include not only education but also work experience, professional exams, background checks, or other stipulations. It is important for students to be aware of any such requirements that could impact education or career plans and to stay informed, as requirements can change.
All professional licensure programs offered by Florida Institute of Technology are designed to meet the requirements of the state of Florida and all accrediting bodies for recommending candidates for licensure/certification. Students who wish to practice in a state other than Florida may or may not have additional requirements to complete prior to applying for a license in the state of their choice.
