Professional Licensure

If you currently live in a state other than Texas or intend to move to a state other than Texas and use the education completed at LSCO to sit for such an exam, please be aware there may be additional requirements. We recommend students content the appropriate state licensing agency in their state or the state where they intend to work to see the most up-to-date information about state licensure/certification requirements before beginning any program.
