Out-of-State Licensure Information for the University of Southern Indiana

Requirements for licensure and certification vary by profession and by state. USI has reviewed the educational requirements for each state and licensing agency to determine if the academic program here at USI meets the educational requirements to be eligible for licensure/certification in each state or not. There are some states we have been unable to determine, listed under the "Not Determined" heading. We are working with those states and agencies to make a final determination and will update the information on this page once we have a final determination. Please note that some states may have additional requirements for licensure, such as residency requirements, additional non-academic certifications, etc. that USI cannot determine. We encourage you to check with your state's licensing agency for all requirements needed to obtain licensure.

Should you require more information, such as needing a contact for a board of a program that is undetermined to meet licensure standards, please click the state abbreviation to find the exhaustive list of contacts. This may help you answer questions related to licensure, such as whether additional costs, examinations, or interviews will be required. You may also contact the program here at USI for additional guidance.   

If using a mobile device, please note you may need to drag the table from left to right to see all of the information available.
