The Master of Science degree in Athletic Training at the University of South Carolina is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for a national comprehensive exam administered by the Board of Certification (BOC).  After passing the BOC Exam, individuals must meet state regulations for the state where they wish to practice as an athletic trainer.  Currently, 49 states and the District of Columbia regulate the practice of athletic training. Compliance with state regulatory requirements is mandatory and the only avenue to legal athletic training practice. Regulation of athletic trainers in South Carolina is performed by the Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Each state has its own licensing board with its own speech-language pathology licensure requirements.  Consequently, although the master’s degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of South Carolina is fully accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, thereby making its graduates eligible to sit for national certification (CCC-SLP) and professional licensure in the state of South Carolina, we cannot confirm that the program meets the requirements for professional licensure in another state.  Students not living in South Carolina should click here for information regarding state licensure specific to individual states throughout the U.S. where a non-resident student lives.  If a current student is considering relocating to another state after being admitted into the program, the student must contact the program director to discuss how the move may impact their ability to participate in academic courses (distributed learning) and clinical practicum (experiential learning) opportunities in a different state.

Each state has its own licensing board with its own marriage, couples, and family counseling licensure requirements. Consequently, although the Educational Specialist degree program in Counselor Education at the University of South Carolina is fully accredited by the Council for Accreditation for Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), thereby making its graduates eligible to sit for national certification (NCC) and professional licensure in the state of South Carolina, we cannot confirm that the program meets the requirements for professional licensure in another state.

Each state has its own education certification board with its own certification requirements.  Consequently, although the educator certification programs at the University of South Carolina are fully accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and are South Carolina State approved programs for educator certification, we cannot confirm that the programs meet the requirements for educator certification in another state. However, South Carolina is part of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Agreement.  Per their website: “The NASDTEC Interstate Agreement facilitates the mobility of educators among the states and other jurisdictions that are members of NASDTEC and have signed the Agreement. Although there may be conditions applicable to individual jurisdictions, the Agreement makes it possible for an educator who completed an approved program and/or who holds a certificate or license in one jurisdiction to earn a certificate or license in another state or jurisdiction.” A list of all states that have signed on to NASDTEC agreement can be found at the link provided above. Upon successful completion of an educator program and passing scores on appropriate educator certification exams (if required by the state in which the student is seeking certification), students may seek certification through application to a state’s board of education.  Students wishing to seek certification in a state other than South Carolina must contact that state’s educator certification board to determine requirements.
