Professional Licensure and Certification

Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.43 (2019 Rule), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 19.2, SUNY Broome Community College provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification.

New York State prides itself in the high quality of its licensed and certified professionals. For the protection of its citizens, each license and certificate have requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. SUNY Broome’s academic programs leading to licensure or certification are carefully designed to meet and exceed these New York State requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. However, other states frequently have their own requirements.

SUNY Broome Community College cannot determine whether any of its educational program curriculum for our professional licensure and certifications, if successfully completed, are sufficient to meet the licensure and certification requirements for practicing in states and U.S. territories other than New York. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their State’s licensure entity (if not practicing in New York) to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice.

We encourage you to talk to the department chairperson of the program if you plan to practice in a State other than New York after graduation.
