Some states accept graduation from a nationally accredited program, and some may require specific additional coursework, state examinations, licensing fees, residence requirements, additional fieldwork, or other additional expectations prior to issuing a professional license. The state professional licensing boards make the ultimate decisions about whether or not an individual will be eligible for licensure based on the rules and regulations in place at the time the application for licensure is submitted.
