General/Public Disclosures
Notice to students pursuing programs that may lead to a professional license or certification required for employment.
The following programs may lead to a career in which a professional license or certification is required for employment. Professional licensure/certification requirements vary from state to state, which may affect a student’s ability to apply for a professional license/certification upon the completion of the program. U.S. Department of Education regulation 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) requires an institution to disclose a list of states where the institution has determined that the program “Does” or “Does not” meet educational requirements for licensure or certification. The administrative departments that offer the program have made the following determination regarding their curriculum:
| Program | Does meet | Does not meet |
| Doctor of Veterinary Medicine | TX, Al, AK, AZ, AR, AS, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, GU, HI, ID, IL, CNMI, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, PR, RI, SC, SD, TN, UT, VT, VA, VI, WA, WV, WI, WY | MH, FM, PW |
In accordance with 34 CFR 668.14(b)(32), Texas A&M University must certify that programs leading to licensure or certification satisfy applicable state educational requirements in the State of Texas and where students enrolled in distance education are located at the initial time of enrollment or where the student attests they intend to seek employment. Therefore, we cannot enroll students in distance education programs from a state where we have determined that the curriculum does not meet professional licensure/certification requirements or where we have yet to make a determination. If you wish to enroll in a distance education program and plan to seek employment in another state which meets the professional licensure/certification requirements, please contact the program to discuss your options.
Each state board, agency, or department has the ultimate authority and discretion to determine whether professional licensure or certification will be issued. We recommend students contact the appropriate state licensing agency in the state where they intend to work to seek the most up-to-date information about state licensure/certification requirements before beginning the program.
