Although Sandhills Community College strives to connect you with the best information possible, no final determination can be made whether a particular program meets educational requirements for professional licensure and/or certification outside of the State of North Carolina. If you enroll in a course leading to a national or North Carolina state-based professional licensure or certification, you must determine how it can be used in your career if you decide to move outside of North Carolina.
