Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) prides itself on bringing academic programs to our community that lead to professional licensure or certification in the state of Florida. If you are considering a career requiring a professional license, you will want to make sure that the program curriculum at FSW meets the criteria in the state(s) where you intend to practice upon earning licensure. It is important to understand that regulations and requirements for professional licensure and/or certification in Florida may, and often do, differ from those in other states. FSW cannot guarantee that our programs meet the requirements of other states. This website is intended to be a resource to help you determine such and to locate the current contact information for applicable licensing boards in each of the 50 states.
