- When a program is designed or advertised to prepare students for professional licensure or certification regulated by Kentucky law, and the curriculum meets the educational requirements set by the state licensing agency, it should be designated as a state licensure program.
- In situations where Kentucky does not regulate the profession,
- If the program is designed or advertised to prepare students for professional licensure or certification regulated by another U.S. state, and the curriculum meets the educational requirements established by the relevant state licensing agency, it should be designated as a state licensure program.
- If a program is not designed or advertised to lead to professional licensure or certification, however, the program’s curriculum meets the educational requirements for licensure in any other U.S. states, the program may be designated as a licensure program at the program’s discretion.
- If a program is designed or advertised to prepare students for national certification rather than state-level professional licensure, it will not be designated as a state licensure program.
- If a program’s curriculum does not meet the educational requirements established by the Kentucky state licensing agency, it must not be designated as a state licensure program. Such programs must not advertise that it leads to a state-level professional licensure.
- Only programs that lead to state-level initial licensure will be designated as state licensure programs. Programs that lead to post-licensure or advanced licensure, and require applicants to already hold the initial level of the same type of licensure, should not be designated as "state licensure programs" for the purposes of federal regulation monitoring.
