The 麻豆直播 EMT program meets licensure requirements in the state of Illinois.

Higher education institutions and the U.S. Department of Education share a common goal: to support students in educational programs that lead to state licensure, enabling them to fulfill the educational requirements necessary for employment in their chosen field. According , starting July 1, 2024, all institutions must disclose whether the curriculum for Title IV-eligible programs designed or advertised as leading to professional licensure or certification required for employment meets state educational requirements where a student is located. Disclosure is required regardless of a program’s modality. Academic programs that provide a path to optional, national, or industry certifications do not require disclosure.

麻豆直播 strives to ensure that information regarding educational requirements for licensure or certification is up to date; however, state requirements may change. Beyond educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, residency requirements, jurisprudence exams, and other training.

The new U.S. Department of Education regulations, 34 CFR 668.14(b)(32) require colleges to assign programs leading to licensure to one of two categories; 鈥淵es, meets state requirements鈥� or 鈥淣o, does not meet state requirements.鈥�

麻豆直播鈥檚 educational programs are designed to meet licensure requirements in the state of Illinois regardless of the modality of instruction. The programs listed below meet educational requirements for professional licensure or certification for that occupation in Illinois:

Associate Degree Nursing (ADN)
Cosmetology (COS)
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN)
Massage Therapy (MAS)

麻豆直播 cannot guarantee licensure in other states. State laws, regulations, and policies governing professional licensure may change at any time. The decision to grant a license or certification is the purview of the state. Only state licensing agencies or boards can determine whether an academic program meets or partially meets educational requirements for licensure. 麻豆直播 cannot guarantee an individual’s attainment of any professional licensure or certification, in any field, in any state. At this time, per regulations, the College must assign, 鈥淣o, does not meet requirements鈥� in states other than Illinois.

Students are encouraged to contact the appropriate state licensing authority directly to determine if 麻豆直播鈥檚 program meets the educational requirements for licensure before beginning the program. Many 麻豆直播 licensure program graduates have successfully transferred into careers and obtained licensure in states other than Illinois.
