  • Professional Licensure & Certification Disclosure

Hofstra University is committed to helping students enrolled in programs leading to professional licensure or certification (such as accounting, counseling, education, nursing, or psychology) to better understand whether their program meets licensure or certification requirements in states outside of New York.

Although we always meet New York State requirements and make every effort to provide the most up-to-date information regarding licensure in general, specific regulations vary by state and are subject to frequent revision. If you are enrolled in a Hofstra program leading to licensure or certification, we strongly encourage you to seek information from the state(s) in which you may wish to practice to ensure that you will be able to meet their credentialing requirements.

The full listing of Hofstra’s licensure and certification programs at the end of this page indicates whether the program meets, does not meet, or has not been determined to meet out-of-state licensure or certification requirements.

To assist you in contacting state licensing boards outside of New York, please refer to the Professional Licensure Directory maintained by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
