Professional Licensure
In compliance with the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v), colleges and universities must communicate publicly and directly to prospective and current students whether programs leading to a license or certification meet other states’ requirements. If your chosen career requires licensure or certification, please note that requirements vary by state. There are occasions when individual states have requirements beyond what New York mandates, even though graduates may be eligible to attempt a national certification exam. Below is a listing of all Center for Allied Health Education’s programs, indicating how they meet state and national requirements.
