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.
