Introduction
As the awareness of state authorization of higher education institutions has increased, so has the realization of the relationships between state authorization entities and professional licensing boards. State authorization is a formal determination by a higher education agency commonly a higher education board or commission that allows an institution to conduct certain activities within its borders. Distance education allows a student taking courses in one state to earn a degree from an institution located in another state, the state authorization entities have become very concerned that licensure-track programs meet professional licensure requirements in their state. Professional licensing boards require an institution to have state authorization before they review and determine if the programs meet their licensing requirements. Institutions need to maintain licensure requirements as per the states and programs.
