State Authorization

Clarkson College and its educational offerings are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Our graduates are allowed to sit for national licensure board examinations. Because state licensure requirements vary by state, Clarkson College is unable to ascertain licensure requirements in every state. It is up to the individual student to be aware of and abide by licensure requirements in the states in which the student chooses to obtain licensure and employment.

While the College has aimed to offer online education throughout the nation, some specific state board requirements do not authorize Clarkson College graduate nursing preceptorships and clinical placements.  We are optimistic about expanding our reach in the future, as state board authorization is a fluid situation that is subject to change.

Licensure Contact Information

Clarkson College recommends that you contact the appropriate licensing agency in your state for requirement information on licensure, preceptorship and clinical placement prior to enrolling.
