Professional Licensure Requirements

Education and Nursing Programs

The Department of Education’s Federal Regulations 34 CFR 668.43 (a)(5)(v) mandate that each institution inform students of whether their program curriculum, both distance education programs and face-to-face programs, meet the state requirements for each program that leads to licensure or certification.

All programs that lead to licensure at Benedictine College will prepare the students for licensure in Kansas. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure functions. Some states require an individual to graduate from an approved program. A specific amount of training can also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Often, licensed professionals must complete continuing education on an annual basis.

NC-SARA membership, however, does not grant reciprocity or exempt us from state professional licensing requirements. As a result, licensing requirements in Kansas may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain a license in any other state.

Nursing majors should refer to this page for further information about licensure in other states.

Benedictine College shall not be held liable if the student is unable to qualify for licensure or certification in any jurisdiction or cannot obtain a practicum/internship location.
