Professional Licensure and Certification Disclosure

Moraine Park Technical College offers programs designed to meet the educational requirements leading to licensure or certification that may be required for employment in certain professions.

Following United States Department of Education (DOE) federal regulations for professional licensure and certification disclosures and reporting under 34 CFR § 668.14 and 34 CFR § 668.43, Moraine Park Technical College cannot enroll students in locations that we have not determined or have determined do not meet the licensure or certification requirements in that location.

Only licensure boards or agencies can determine whether a program has met the requirements. These boards and agencies make that determination after someone graduates or completes the program and applies for a license. After all reasonable efforts, we have provided our best assessment of how our program matches the educational requirements for the license. Moraine Park Technical College cannot guarantee the ability to earn any professional license, in any field, in any state or territory.

Completing a program is typically only one part of the professional licensure requirements. Most states require that individuals meet additional requirements to qualify for licensure, including coursework and training, supervised clinical experiences, and successful passage of state or national exams. Other licensure requirements include fees, background checks, years of work experience, references, fingerprinting requirements, etc.

Licensure information is reviewed and updated annually. Licensure requirements are subject to changes at any time. Please contact the program dean for further information or questions.
