Information for Prospective Michigan Students into Programs that Could Lead or be Construed as Leading to Professional Licensure
Some of the following Walden University programs are designed to prepare graduates for professional licensure or certification in various fields in the state of Michigan. Additionally, several programs listed below are not designed to prepare graduates for professional licensure or certification, but could be construed as leading to professional licensure or certification. While Walden can provide general information relating to the state-by-state educational requirements for licensure or certification, it remains the student’s responsibility to understand, evaluate, and comply with all requirements relating to field education experiences, licensing or certification, authorization or endorsement for the state in which she or he resides. Walden makes no representations or guarantee that completion of its coursework or programs will permit an individual to obtain state licensure, certification, authorization, endorsement, or other state credential. Licensure eligibility determinations are ultimately determined by the appropriate state board that issues the credential to practice. Prospective students enrolling in licensure-leading programs are advised that relocation to another state may impact the student’s ability to complete field experiences and/or to obtain professional licensure, certification or other credential in another state. Prospective students are advised to carefully review, evaluate and understand the requirements of the applicable licensure board in the state in which they intend to relocate.
