State Authorization

Thomas University has been approved by the State of Georgia to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state authorization and oversight of post-secondary distance education.  http://www.nc-sara.org/states/GA

Participation in NC-SARA allows students from states outside of Georgia to take advantage of TU’s quality online programs.  For a list of participating states please visit nc-sara.

For academic programs leading to licensure:

Participation in SARA has no effect on state professional licensing requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the appropriate licensing agency or Board in his or her state of residency, prior to beginning a course of study, to understand the requirements as it applies to a specific situation.
