If you are considering an online program that leads to a professional license in a state other than Hawai‘i, it is highly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing agency in your home state to seek information and additional guidance before beginning the program.

Professional Licensure

Additional licensure information can be found on the NC-SARA webpage.
