Professional Licensure Disclosure Statement

Federal regulations require the College to disclose whether its educational programs meet U.S. jurisdictions’ educational requirements for licensure (34 CFR 668.43(a)(6)& 34 CFR 668.72(n)). While Cabarrus College clinical programs employ best practices in healthcare education to prepare students for professional licensure, certification, and practice, the educational requirements to sit for credentialing examinations and to practice vary from one state to the next.

The following programs have researched state/territory requirements and determined to the best of their abilities whether current program curricula meet credentialing educational requirements. Details can be obtained by clicking on each program link to determine if a program: (1) meets state educational requirements for licensure or certification, (2) does not meet state educational requirements for licensure or certification or (3) a determination has not been made.

Prospective and enrolled students are strongly encouraged to follow up with the licensing board or regulatory agency in the state/territory in which they wish to practice. Cabarrus College Program Chairs are available for guidance and assistance, see contact information below.
