Online Professional Licensure Database
At SEMO, we understand that figuring out licensing requirements for your future career can be confusing.
This page helps you check whether an online degree from Southeast Missouri State University meets the professional licensing or certification rules in the state where you plan to work. The programs listed below include state-based licensing requirements, so simply click on your major to see a list of states. If you see a "Yes" next to your state, our program faculty has determined that our curriculum meets that state's licensing standards. If you see "No" instead of a "Yes," please reach out to your program advisor or email stateauth@semo.edu to confirm your eligibility to study while living in that state. We update this information annually for accuracy and strongly recommend that you also check requirements directly with your state's licensing board.
