Professional licensure disclosure

PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE DISCLOSURE BY PROGRAM

Freed-Hardeman is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) which allows us to provide distance learning programs (both online and in the form of supervised field experiences) and coursework to residents of states other than Tennessee. NC-SARA membership, however, does not grant reciprocity or exempt us from state professional licensing requirements. As a result, licensing requirements in Tennessee may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain a license in any other state.

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, specifically 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) and 34 CFR 668.43(c) require disclosures by institutions regarding educational requirements for programs leading to professional licensure or certification regardless of modality. 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) requires an institution to make readily available to enrolled and prospective students information about whether programs leading to professional licensure or certification meet educational requirements.

Freed-Hardeman University offers several programs that could potentially lead to professional licensure within the State of Tennessee. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure functions. As such, the licensure boards in each state are responsible for establishing the requirements for licensure/certification for their state. Curriculum for programs at FHU that customarily lead to a professional licensure or certification are designed to meet the licensure requirements for the State of Tennessee. Some states require an individual to graduate from an approved program, while other state licensing boards may require additional requirements beyond education. Additional requirement may include (but are not limited to): certification requirements of a national organization, additional post-graduation examinations or experience, application and licensing fees, criminal background checks, reference checks, fingerprint submissions, etc. A specific amount of training can also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Often, licensed professionals must also complete continuing education on an annual basis.

Freed-Hardeman periodically reviews individual state requirements in an attempt to assist students by providing an initial assessment and guidance. However, state licensing requirements are always subject to change at the discretion of the state licensing board without notice and can impact the program’s ability to meet educational requirements for licensure. State professional licensing boards make the ultimate decision as to whether or not an individual will be eligible to sit for licensure based on the rules and regulations in place at the time the individual submits their application for licensure. Freed-Hardeman shall not be held liable if the student is unable to qualify for licensure or certification in any jurisdiction or cannot obtain a practicum/internship location.

Students who intend to return or move to any state other than Tennessee should review the specific academic requirements for the program in which they are enrolling, and consult with the state professional licensing board to obtain further information for the applicable licensing requirement in the respective state. Please click the program of study below to view individual state contact information an as well as obtain FHU’s initial assessment. The State Licensing Requirements will indicate if the program curriculum Meets the individual state’s requirements, Does NOT Meet the state’s requirement, or will state Undetermined if Freed-Hardeman has not yet determined if the curriculum requirements are met. It is the responsibility of the student completing the licensure program to check with the licensing board(s) in their state of residence or in the state in which they intend to obtain a license for the most recent information and requirements.

If you have questions regarding one of these programs or a program not listed on the Professional Licensure page, please contact your Academic Advisor or the Program Director.

Accounting (B.B.A. & M.B.A.)

To become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Tennessee, candidates must obtain a baccalaureate degree including 150 semester hours from an accredited college or university. This must include 30 semester hours in accounting (24 of which are upper-division) and 24 semester hours in business courses (12 of which are upper-division). The candidate must then pass the Uniform CPA Examination, an Ethics Examination, and complete one year of experience in Accounting acceptable to the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy. All states now require 150 semester hours, but some states require specific accounting courses, such as accounting theory or governmental and non-profit accounting.

Carefully review the educational prerequisites for your intended state/territory of licensure and whether our program meets those requirements for licensure. Use the agency contact information provided below to clarify or confirm any requirements. Additional information may be obtained by visiting the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.

If questions remain after reviewing the information provided below, contact Dr. Brandon Lanciloti. While the University can provide initial guidance, it is ultimately your responsibility to continually check with the state/territory where you intend to seek licensure to confirm all licensing/certification requirements.

*Psychopharmacology AND Crisis Counseling must be taken as electives. An additional 64 clock hours of California-specific training must be completed after earning your degree but before licensure is granted

**At least 10 documented hours of group counseling must be conducted during practicum

Communication sciences and disorder (B.S.)

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association does not accredit undergraduate programs. To become a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) in Tennessee, candidates must obtain 60 college-level semester hours sent directly to the Board from an accredited college or university, and complete 100 hours of fieldwork post-graduation under the supervision of a speech-language pathologist with their certificate of clinical competence. Please note: The student is responsible for seeking post-graduation fieldwork opportunities.

To practice as a Speech-Language Pathology – Assistant [SLP-A] requires a professional license, registration or certification in most states and US territories. Each state/territory has its own standards for practice and regulates SLP “support personnel” differently.

Support personnel includes technicians, aides, paraprofessionals, as well as SLP-Assistants. This site provides you a list of states/territories where this institution has made the determination that its communication disorders curriculum either meets the educational requirements for licensure or does not meet the educational requirements for licensure as a Speech-Language Pathology – Assistant.

Also, you must understand that in the states/territories where the institution has made the determination that its curriculum meets the educational requirements for licensure, this does not mean that this is the only requirement to be licensed in that state/territory. You will still be required to complete the mandatory fieldwork after graduation.

While the University can provide initial guidance, it is ultimately your responsibility to continually check with the state/territory where you intend to seek licensure to confirm all licensing/certification requirements. To assist you in making your decision whether to apply to FHU’s CSD program, we have provided you a list of states and territories and the respective contact information for the state board of examiners in speech-language pathology, where available. We encourage you to contact the licensing/governing body in the state or territory in which you desire to become licensed or intend to work to seek additional information. If questions remain after reviewing the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) webpage and the information provided below, please contact Dr. Meagan Spencer.

*State approval of a program to offer Alabama licensed nurses opportunities for advanced degrees does not automatically indicate eligibility for approval to practice as an advanced practice nurse in Alabama. Applicants for approval in Alabama are required to meet the Alabama requirements for national certification, graduation from a specific-type program for the advanced practice approval, and completion of the appropriate application. Any program offering a pre-licensure track to Alabama students shall meet the requirements of the Alabama regulations or pre-licensure programs or the graduates may not be eligible to take the national licensure examination required by the Alabama Board of Nursing to enter the practice.

Psychology (B.S.)
The American Psychological Association (APA) does not accredit undergraduate programs in psychology (although they do provide a list of standard guidelines for undergraduate programs to use should they desire). While there are many careers that may be pursued with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, simply holding a Bachelor’s degree in psychology will not lead to professional licensure in any of the 50 states.

Professional licensure is generally obtained, at a minimum, at the Master’s level. Those who wish to use their training in psychology to pursue a career in counseling generally must earn a Master’s degree from a CACREP accredited program, earn qualifying scores on licensing exams, and gain supervised experience. A Bachelor’s degree in psychology will generally aid in being admitted to these Master’s programs but will not suffice on its own.

Further, to be licensed as a professional psychologist, most states require a Doctoral degree from an APA accredited program (APA does accredit graduate programs in psychology) with a post-doctoral internship, qualifying scores on licensing exams, and supervised experience. Again, a Bachelor’s degree in psychology would likely be an early step in obtaining this goal, but it would not suffice on its own for professional licensure.

For further information regarding how to become a licensed psychologist, carefully review the educational prerequisites for your intended state/territory of licensure and whether our program meets those requirements for licensure. Use the agency contact information provided below to clarify or confirm any requirements. Additional information may be obtained by visiting the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards or NC-SARA Individual State Contact Information database.

If questions remain after reviewing the information provided above, contact Dr. Chris Creecy.

School Counseling

The state of Tennessee participates in the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC). Under these guidelines, completion of an educator preparation program from out-of-state colleges and universities, such as Freed-Hardeman University, is accepted from other member states. State reciprocity related to the preparation of teachers or other P-12 school/system personnel does not automatically indicate certification/licensure eligibility in a state outside of Tennessee. Applicants must meet the home state test requirements, jurisdiction specific requirements, and submit a valid educator certificate/licensure issued by Tennessee at the degree level, grade level, and in the teaching field or area of instructional support for which the certificate is sought. The state of Tennessee has a reciprocity agreement with Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Teacher license reciprocity allows educators who hold a teaching license in one state to earn a license in another state, subject to meeting state-specific requirements.” If additional requirements are needed, many states will grant a provisional license while the applicant completes such requirements. It is important to check with the state you plan to seek licensure with to confirm state-specific requirements, as regulations may change without notice.

Carefully review the educational prerequisites for your intended state/territory of licensure and whether our program meets those requirements for licensure. Use the agency contact information provided below to clarify or confirm any requirements.

Social Work (B.S.W.)

Founded in 1952, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is the national association representing social work education in the United States. Its members include over 800 accredited baccalaureate and master’s degree social work programs, as well as individual social work educators, practitioners, and agencies dedicated to advancing quality social work education. Through its many initiatives, activities, and centers, CSWE supports quality social work education and provides opportunities for leadership and professional development, so that social workers play a central role in achieving the profession’s goals of social and economic justice. CSWE’s Commission on Accreditation is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the sole accrediting agency for social work education in the United States and its territories.

Freed-Hardeman University’s Social Work program is accredited by CSWE. Click here to review a list of accredited programs.Simply being accredited by CSWE does not necessarily mean that a student will meet the licensure requirements to practice as a social worker. In most states one can perform generalist social work practice and hold the title of a social worker, once the degree is obtained; however, licensing and title protection differ from state to state on the BSW level. Post graduate examinations, application and license fees, along with background checks, and occasionally work experience may be required prior to licensure in some states. In addition, in a few states, the minimum degree requirement for licensure is the Master’s in Social Work.

As such, each student should carefully review the educational prerequisites for his/her intended state/territory of licensure and whether our program meets those requirements for licensure.

Use the agency contact information provided below to clarify or confirm any requirements. Additional information may be obtained by visiting the Association of Social Work Boards or NC-SARA Individual State Contact Information database.

If questions remain after reviewing the information provided below, contact Dr. Nadine McNeal. While the University can provide initial guidance, it is ultimately your responsibility to continually check with the state/territory where you intend to seek licensure to confirm all licensing/certification requirements.

Teacher Education (B.A., B.S., M.ED., M.A.T., ED.S. & ED.D.)

Freed-Hardeman University offers twenty-seven education licensure programs.  Endorsements for PreK, Elementary, Middle, Secondary, and Reading Specialist are addressed under the PreK-12 column.  Special Education and Administration endorsements are addressed under their respective columns.  School Counseling is discussed in the above section.

The state of Tennessee participates in the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC). Under these guidelines, completion of an educator preparation program from out-of-state colleges and universities, such as Freed-Hardeman University, is accepted from other member states. State reciprocity related to the preparation of teachers or other P-12 school/system personnel does not automatically indicate certification/licensure eligibility in a state outside of Tennessee. Applicants must meet the home state test requirements, jurisdiction specific requirements, and submit a valid educator certificate/licensure issued by Tennessee at the degree level, grade level, and in the teaching field or area of instructional support for which the certificate is sought. The state of Tennessee has a reciprocity agreement with Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Teacher license reciprocity allows educators who hold a teaching license in one state to earn a license in another state, subject to meeting state-specific requirements.” If additional requirements are needed, many states will grant a provisional license while the applicant completes such requirements. It is important to check with the state you plan to seek licensure with to confirm state-specific requirements, as regulations may change without notice.

Carefully review the educational prerequisites for your intended state/territory of licensure and whether our program meets those requirements for licensure. Use the agency contact information provided below to clarify or confirm any requirements. Additional information may be obtained by visiting the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, The Teach Certification Reciprocity, U.S. Department of Education, or NC-SARA Individual State Contact Information database.

*Kentucky’s Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) Division of Certification or Division of Educator Preparation cannot “pre-approve” the use of an out-of-state online program for use by Kentucky’s educators. This includes Freed-Hardeman University’s online Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Education, and Education Specialist degrees that lead to licensure. Please note that FHU does offer many online programs that lead to non-licensure.
