Considerations for Other U.S. States and Territories
If a student is located or plans to seek employment outside the State of Washington, please consult the appropriate program link above to review detailed information regarding certification or licensure requirements in other U.S. states and territories. In some cases, information is provided on the eligibility of the Whitworth program to fulfill certification or licensure requirements in select states. In other cases, a determination of whether the Whitworth program meets certification or licensure requirements has not been made for any U.S. state or territory other than the State of Washington.
Although we try to update this information regularly, state requirements often change, thus it is strongly encouraged that prospective students contact the appropriate state licensing agency to find out whether Whitworth's programs currently meet the educational requirements in that state.
