Accreditation and State Authorization
U.S. Department of Education regulations require disclosures to students enrolled in, or considering programs leading to professional licensure/certification, regardless of whether the program is offered on-campus or online.
These disclosures fall into three categories:
-
The program curriculum meets educational requirements for licensure in your state.
-
The program curriculum does not meet educational requirements for licensure in your state.
-
We have not determined whether the program curriculum meets educational requirements for licensure in your state.
*The chart below is used as guidance. Students should consult with the applicable licensing authority in the state in which you expect to work in order to confirm that Yale School of Nursing’s accreditation and curriculum meet the state’s eligibility requirements for the specific licensure or certification sought. *
