Leighton School of Nursing Compliance 

In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v) the LSON acknowledges:

1. The BSN pre-licensure curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure in Indiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
2. The DNP APRN program curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure/certification in Indiana.
3. The institution has yet to determine whether the curriculum meets the pre-licensure or APRN licensure/certification for any other state.

Additionally, all students are considered to be located in the state where the student’s educational program takes place (IN, OK, or TN) at the time of initial enrollment in clinical nursing education.  Students are considered to be located in that state throughout the duration of their clinical education due to required in-person clinical components of their education.

Any student planning to relocate to another state after completion of the program can seek guidance from Dr. Laurie Peters, director of accreditation and assessment, (lpeters@marian.edu) to determine whether the curriculum meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in that state.

Successful completion of a program of study at LSON does not guarantee licensure, certification, or employment in the relevant occupation.

The University will continue its work in verifying the suitability for licensure in all other states and will provide updates to this list accordingly.

Any student planning to relocate to another state after completion of the program can seek guidance from the Assistant Registrar for MU-COM, Regina Obergfell (robergfell@marian.edu) for documentation of the D.O. degree or the Sr Advisor to the Interim Sr Vice President of Health Professions, Elizabeth Petsche (empetsche@marian.edu) to determine whether the curriculum meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in that state.
