Out of State Students Interested in an Online Degree from Minot State University

MSU became a SARA member in June 2014.State laws require colleges and universities to be authorized to offer online degree programs in the states where their students reside. This authorization can be obtained by seeking authorization through the individual state or by participating in a reciprocity agreement such as the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). Minot State University (MSU) became a SARA institution in June 2014, allowing MSU to offer online programs to residents in other SARA states. Below is a list of states where MSU is authorized to offer online degree programs through SARA or through individual state authorization. This applies only to students in the United States.

Licensure Programs: Authorization to offer online degree programs does not automatically imply that a program will lead to licensure or certification in a state. Please pay careful attention to the following information about specific online programs: 

  • The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice does not lead to a peace officer license. Additional credentials and education will be required to obtain a peace officer's license.
  • The Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education (non-teaching) program alone does not meet state teacher licensure or certification requirements. It does meet federal requirements for Head Start teachers.
  • The BSN Completion admits individuals who have a current unencumbered registered nurse license in their state of residence. Therefore, the BSN Completion Program does NOT lead to a professional licensure in your state of residence. A U.S. Nursing License is required, therefore students with a nursing license from another country are not eligible.
  • For information regarding licensure for Driver's Education teachers, please see the Driver Education State Authorization web site.
  • The Master of Education program alone does not meet state teacher licensure or certification requirements.
  • The Master of Science in Special Education fulfills licensing requirements in the State of North Dakota and North Dakota is part of the National Association of Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate agreement.

If you are interested in determining if the MS in Special Education can meet your state's requirements for licensure, please contact Minot State Online.

Relocation: At the time of your inquiry for the Master of Science in Special Education, you will provide Minot State with your current location. This location will be used to determine if our program will fulfill licensure requirements in that state/territory. If you relocate to a different state/territory, Minot State cannot guarantee that our program will fulfill licensure requirements in that state/territory. Therefore, it is important that you notify Minot State as soon as possible of any planned relocation that will change the state/territory where you plan to receive your licensure. Official notification should be made by contacting your program advisor and changing your mailing address in Campus Connection. Within 14 days of receiving your notification, Minot State will notify you whether our program will fulfill licensure requirements in your new location or if we unable to determine whether it does.
