Do UMGC's programs meet my state's professional licensure requirements?
If your career requires a license—such as teaching, accounting, or nursing—you need to know the licensure requirements in your state.
What to Know About Licensure
- Licensure varies by state. Each state sets its own rules for education, exams, and experience.
- A UMGC degree does not guarantee licensure. Some states may require additional courses or training.
- Transfer credits may not count. Even if UMGC accepts them, your state’s board decides if they apply to licensure.
Examples of Licensure-Related Programs
- Accounting
- Education
- Nursing (RN to BSN)
Before You Start Your Program
- Visit the UMGC Professional Licensure webpage to see if your program aligns with your state’s requirements.
- Contact your state licensing board for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
