Professional Licensure Disclosures

Hillsborough College (HC) provides quality academic programs to our community that lead to professional licensure or certification in the state of Florida and for national licensure. Out-of-state applicants to a Hillsborough College program that leads to professional licensure will be contacted by the program administrator to confirm that your chosen program meets the licensure criteria for the state in which you intend to practice upon earning licensure. Regulations and requirements for professional licensure and/or certification in Florida may differ from those in other states, and those differences could affect you if you intend to move to another state following graduation from the program. Included are links to information regarding licensure exams and applicable licensing boards in each of the 50 states.
