Professional Licensures

Niagara University offers several programs leading to professional licensure or certification within the State of New York. Our curricula are carefully designed to meet NYS requirements. Requirements may vary by state, however, so students who intend to practice in another state will need to check with the authorizing entity in that state to determine the requirements for licensure or certification. At this point, the university has not made a determination as to whether any of the following programs' curricula meet the standards for licensure or certification for any state other than New York.
