Professional Licensure & State Authorization

The State of Idaho is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and LC State is one of the approved SARA institutions in Idaho.

NC-SARA

We adhere to an established common set of standards for offering post-secondary distance education among member states, districts, and territories. Participation in NC-SARA is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by post-secondary institutions based in another state. LC State also works directly with states that are not NC-SARA members to ensure that when authorization or licensure is necessary, required approvals are secured.

Professional Licensure Disclosures

For each licensure program listed below, there is a list of all states for which we:

  • Have determined that its curriculum meets the state educational requirements for licensure or certification
  • Have determined that its curriculum does not meet the state educational requirements for licensure or certification
  • Have not made a determination that its curriculum meets the state educational requirements for licensure or certification
