Academic programs leading to professional licensure must comply with federal regulations designed to protect students. These important regulations ensure that students don't invest in programs only to discover upon graduating that it doesn't meet the necessary coursework requirements to practice their profession. The ßÙßÇÂþ» is committed to offering current information; however, it is important to note that licensure regulations frequently change.
State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a national initiative to provide more access to online courses while maintaining compliance standards with state regulatory agencies. SARA allows institutions to provide online courses outside of their own state borders by seeking and maintaining state approvals via a streamlined process. NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of post secondary distance education. To learn more about SARA, please visit .
Florida joined SARA through the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) compact. The ßÙßÇÂþ» is an approved member of NC-SARA which is recognized by 49 states and the District of Columbia.
Program Disclosure requirement
The U.S. Department of Education requires that an institution disclose whether the program will fulfill educational requirements for licensure or certification for each state. Given that professional licensure or certification requirements vary by state, it is advisable to refer to our State Licensure Contact Directory to review the latest licensure criteria in your state or the state where you intend to become licensed.
The ßÙßÇÂþ» has made the following determinations regarding our academic programs:

The full slate of requirements for state or territory licensure for clinical psychologists is incredibly nuanced and significantly varies by state or territory. All potential students, regardless of intended state or territory of practice, should refer to the linked disclosure document (here) for more complete information and resources about professional licensing of clinical psychologists. 1 States where USF’s Clinical Psychology doctoral program does not satisfy curricular requirements are states that require additional coursework beyond that which is provided by USF’s doctoral program and/or require completion of post-doctoral education. Please consult the linked disclosure document (here) for more information and resources about USF’s program relative to those states’ educational requirements. |
