Out-of-state admissions are subject to verification of regulations in the student's state of residence and may affect the student's ability to enroll and successfully complete MCCN programs.
Applicants residing in states where MCCN is unable to provide required clinical education experiences, secure appropriate practice placements, satisfy state authorization requirements, and/or meet professional licensure requirements may not be eligible for admission into the Doctor of Nursing Practice program.

Professional Licensure
If you live outside Ohio and are considering enrolling in an online program that leads to a professional license, you must contact the appropriate state Licensing Agency in your state or the state where you intend to work to verify the most up-to-date information about state licensure requirements before beginning the program.
Please note that program requirements are always subject to change and the College has no control over state licensing requirements. Although College will review the requirements found in the SARA Availability Chart on a routine basis, we strongly recommend that students inquire with the professional state licensing board to confirm that the intended program of choice will meet the requirements for licensure before enrolling.
