If your program leads to a professional license or certification, authorization may be required from the state professional licensing board prior to beginning a clinical or field experience in that state. Check with your program's coordinator with questions about state professional licensing board requirements prior to beginning an internship or field experience in another state.

Clark State academic programs are designed to prepare students to apply for applicable licensure or certification in Ohio. Completion of a Clark State program may not meet education requirements for a license or certification in another state.

Clark State makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification information is current; however, state requirements may change. Separate from educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, jurisprudence exams, etc. If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements before beginning an academic program.

For licensing board contact information, educational requirements for licensure and program approval status please visit the U.S. Department of Education website.
