National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

SARA is an agreement among member states, districts and territories that establishes comparable national standards for the approval of interstate postsecondary distance education courses and programs. Queens <\/span>College online programs are approved by the New York State Education Department.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SARA Requirements: Professional Licensure Disclosur<\/b><\/span>e<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

While SARA does not address professional licensing board approval for programs leading to state licensing, SARA does require that participating institutions provide proper notification to students as to whether courses and programs will meet the professional licensure requirements in states where students are located. This is in alignment with federal regulations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Professional Licensure<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Queens <\/span>College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) www.msche.org<\/a>. The MSCHE is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. The Board of Regents in New York State (NYS) grants professional licensure\/certificates to qualified candidates. Queens <\/span>College is also an institutional member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA membership does not grant reciprocity or exempt Queens <\/span>College from state professional licensing\/certification requirements.<\/p>\n

Queens <\/span>College academic programs have been designed to meet the accreditation and licensure\/certification requirements as well as prepare students to apply for licensure\/certification exams in the State of New York. As a result, licensing\/certification requirements in New York may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain licensure\/certification in any other state.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Programs Leading to Licensure\/Certification<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

At this time (Fall 2025-Spring 2026), Queens <\/span>College does not offer any online programs that lead to professional licensure. As approved online programs begin admitting online students, programs will be listed in the chart below and professional licensure information will be listed.<\/p>\n
