Federal regulations require that if programs are "designed to meet educational requirements
for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment
in an occupation, or is advertised as meeting such requirements, information regarding
whether completion of that program would be sufficient to meet licensure requirements
in a State for that occupation" must be made readily available to enrolled and prospective
students (34 CFR § 668.43).
Below is a list of professional licensure determinations for programs offered at Michigan
Technological University that meet the above definition. This information is provided
as guidance to assist students in making an initial assessment about the suitability
of a program to their goals. Not all Michigan Tech programs are designed to lead to
occupations with required licensure or certification. For a full list of programs,
please see the admissions page.
These disclosures are only about the required educational components of licensure.
Many states have additional requirements that vary by occupation, including, but not
limited to, examination and professional experience. It is the responsibility of the
student completing a licensure program to check with the licensing board(s) in their
state of residence, or in the state in which they intend to obtain a license, for
the most recent information and requirements.
