UofM Notice on Licensure Outside of Tennessee:
Many educational programs offered by the University of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ lead to professional licensure within the State of Tennessee and in other states. Students should be aware that licensure and certification requirements vary from state to state and are subject to change. Licensing agencies or boards also may have requirements in addition to an earned degree.
ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ has not made a determination whether University of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s programs will meet all of the licensure and certification requirements in each US state or territory. ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ recommends that students who are not Tennessee residents or who plan to seek licensure or certification outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate licensing agency or board prior to enrollment in an academic program designed to lead to licensure or certification and discuss their plans with an advisor.
