Manhattan University offers certain academic programs designed to lead to professional licensure or certification.

In accordance with federal regulation (34 CFR §668.43), institutions must disclose whether completion of a program meets the educational requirements for professional licensure in each U.S. state or territory.

Licensure requirements are established by individual states and territories and may change over time. Determinations below address educational requirements only and do not include other state requirements such as examinations, supervised experience, background checks, or residency requirements.

If a program does not meet, or has not been determined to meet, the educational requirements for licensure in a student’s state of residence, Manhattan University will provide direct written disclosure prior to enrollment or continuation in the program.
