Licensure and Certification Information

Lakeshore College programs that lead to licensure and/or advanced practice certification/endorsement, whether delivered online or face-to-face, satisfy the academic requirements for those credentials set forth by the State of Wisconsin.

Educational requirements for licensure and/or advanced practice certification/endorsement eligibility vary from one profession to another and from state to state. Federal requirements state that institutions may not enroll students from states nor intending to practice in states in which our program does not meet or has not been determined to meet requirements for professional licensure.
