Professional Licensure
Campbellsville University offers academic programs designed to prepare students for careers that may require professional licensure or certification. Licensure requirements are established by individual states and jurisdictions and may include specific educational requirements, supervised clinical or professional experience, examinations, background checks, and other requirements.
Because professional licensure requirements vary by location and may change over time, prospective and current students should review the requirements for the state or jurisdiction in which they intend to practice. Students considering relocation should also review the requirements of their intended state before making decisions related to enrollment, clinical experiences, or professional practice.
Licensure Information and Resources
Students enrolled in, or considering, an academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification should review the requirements established by the appropriate licensing board for their intended profession and state or jurisdiction of practice.
Students are encouraged to work with their academic program to understand how Campbellsville University’s curriculum and clinical or professional experiences relate to applicable licensure requirements.

State Authorization and NC-SARA
Campbellsville University participates in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), which supports interstate access to postsecondary distance education. Participation in NC-SARA addresses state authorization for distance education and is separate from professional licensure requirements.
NC-SARA participation does not guarantee that a Campbellsville University program meets the educational requirements for professional licensure or certification in every state or jurisdiction. Students enrolled in, or considering, a program that leads to professional licensure should review the applicable professional licensure disclosures and requirements for the state or jurisdiction in which they intend to practice.
