Professional Licensure Disclosures
Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) offers multiple programs designed to meet educational requirements for a professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation in Tennessee. Completion of an MTSU program may not meet educational requirements for licensure in other U.S. States or territories. Licensing agencies or boards may have requirements in addition to an earned degree. Students should be aware that licensure requirements vary from state to state and are subject to change. MTSU has not made a determination whether all of these programs will meet all of the certification requirements of a U.S. state or territory. MTSU recommends that students who are not located in Tennessee or who plan to seek licensure or certification outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate licensing agency or board before they enroll in an academic program designed to lead to licensure or certification and discuss their plans with an advisor.

Non-Credit Courses and Programs
- Ed2Go
Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) provides a registration portal for multiple non-credit professional development and CEU courses and programs offered by Ed2Go. Ed2Go provides all course content and instruction. Students in Ed2Go courses do not apply to MTSU, are not admitted to MTSU, and do not pay MTSU tuition or fees. Ed2Go courses may be applicable to a professional license or certificate as noted in the “about certification” section of course webpages. MTSU recommends that individuals contact the appropriate state or national licensing agency or board before registering in a course or program that leads to licensure or certification.
- EMT/Basic and Advanced EMT
Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) offers Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Training programs that meet the educational requirements to sit for the examinations required for national certification by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and that meet the educational requirements of the State of Tennessee for initial Emergency Medical Technician and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician. Students should be aware that licensure requirements vary from state to state and are subject to change. State requirements may include an application, supervision, examination, continuing education, a background check, fingerprinting, fees, etc. MTSU has not made a determination whether the EMT Training program will meet all of the requirements of another US state or territory. MTSU recommends that students who plan to seek licensure outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate licensing agency. Students who move from one state to another during their enrollment in these programs must notify MTSU for licensure disclosure information.
Those who complete an MTSU EMT Training program and gain licensure in Tennessee are eligible for certification reciprocity in many states. Reciprocity is not an automatic or complete transfer of certification, thus individuals should consult the Emergency Medical Services site at https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/ems-board/ems-board/licensure.html#reciprocity and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians site at https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/replica for information about reciprocity and the Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact.
