Stronger Protections for Students Against Degrees That Don't Lead to Jobs.
This bill tightens rules for colleges and vocational schools receiving federal aid, ensuring their programs actually qualify students for licensed jobs in their state. It requires schools to provide necessary clinical placements and internships. Furthermore, institutions must clearly warn students if a program fails to meet the professional licensing requirements in the state where the student plans to work.
Key points
Schools must guarantee that program completion fully qualifies students to take required licensing exams for their intended occupation in their home state.
Institutions must provide all necessary pre-licensure requirements, such as clinical placements or apprenticeships, in a timely manner.
Online schools must be legally authorized in every state where their students reside, ensuring local accountability and complaint resolution.
