Recent Amendments to the U.S. Higher Education Act of 1965 require post-secondary educational institutions to be legally authorized in a state where practical experience activities such as internships, clinical or field experiences are provided. Northwest Missouri State University has received authorization (or is exempt from the requirement) in the following states as noted:
State |
Status of Authorization for Internships, Clinical or Field Experiences |
California | OK (no physical presence*) |
*Physical presence does not refer to the student but Northwest. Each state has different requirements for physical presence. Contact Career Services for state-specific information.
