Information Sheet on Issues of Degree Acceptance and Licensing

Thank you for your interest in Breyer State University. We receive questions regarding acceptance of degrees by states and/or countries and schools, as well as questions related to issue of licensing. To help you, we have prepared a special FAQ with responses. Please review the following information carefully. We will be happy to respond to any questions you may have.

WILL MY DEGREE BE ACCEPTED IN MY STATE OR COUNTRY?

Response: Each state has their own state governments with their own laws and regulations. It is impossible to directly answer your question. However, states do not have laws that prohibit use of a degree, except for the state of Oregon . If you live in Oregon, you should know that unfortunately, Oregon has a law which makes the use of a non-regionally accredited degree "illegal" in that state. If you have further questions regarding acceptance of a degree that is not "regionally accredited" you should contact your own state's board of education and pose your questions to them. Again, other than Oregon, we do not know of any laws or statutes/regulations related to a states acceptance of non-regionally accredited degree.

WILL MY DEGREE BE ACCEPTED BY ANOTHER COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY FOR ENTRANCE INTO A DEGREE PROGRAM?

Response: Each college/university have their own specific criteria and policies related to requirements for their degree programs. Each is unique. There is no simple, general answer to this question. Most all non-regionally accredited schools will accept a non-regionally accredited degree for entry into higher level program. Some schools that are regionally accredited will accept a non-regionally accredited degree, and others will not. We do have on file letters from regionally accredited schools that have accepted the affiliate degree. If you plan to pursue more education following graduation from Breyer State University it is strongly advised that you contact schools you may be interested in and ascertain their specific entry requirements.

I WANT TO RECEIVE A LICENSE FOR A PARTICULAR PROFESSION. WILL I BE ABLE TO DO SO WITH A BREYER STATE UNIVERSITY DEGREE?

Response: Again, each state has its own licensing laws and each state's laws and regulations define what they will or will not consider for application for any type of licensure's. Your question can only be answered by the particular state board that confers licensure in your state. For example, if you desire to obtain a "teaching certificate" you would need to first contact your own particular state board that is responsible for issuing such a certificate. You will need to ascertain from them what the requirements are for licensure.

Please be sure to ask specific questions of your state licensing boards before you enter into a particular degree program. Some states also require a specialty accreditation or approval. For example, state boards of nursing generally all require that one graduate from a program that is NLN (national league of nursing) approved. As Breyer State University is not regionally accredited, we do not have any type of specialty accreditations. Thus, we do not have a preparatory degree program for RN licensure.

If you desire licensure in any of the following then please check with your state agency or board that issues license for these specialties: counseling, clinical psychology, education/teaching certificate, social services, nursing, other specific health care specialties such as respiratory therapy, physical therapy, etc., real estate, some engineering specialist, etc.

Breyer State University has not designed curriculums specifically to meet any state's licensing requirements. Breyer State University can not guarantee acceptance of any degree for licensing in any state or country. It is the prospective student's responsibility to ascertain the requirements for licensure in their state or country.

Note: there are some states that may allow certain individuals with a particular degree to practice without a license.

Examples:

        1. There is a state that does not require licensure for the practice of Social Work.

        2.Some states will allow for a non-licensed, trained or educated person to practice without a            license as long as they are practicing under the "supervision" of a licensed professional.            Example, in some states, one with a degree in Social Work might be able to practice Social            Work without a license, as long as they practice under the supervision of a licensed social            worker. Again, you must check with your state licensing agency or board.
