New York Authorization and Approval for Pre-licensing Course (Secondary Schools and Colleges) is a program that provides authorization and approval for pre-licensing courses for secondary schools and colleges. This program is designed to ensure that schools and colleges in the state of New York meet rigorous standards in order to provide quality pre-licensing courses to students. The program is administered by the New York State Education Department (NOSED) and is designed to provide authorization for courses that meet licensing requirements for professional licensure in the state of New York. The program includes two types of authorization and approval: Full Authorization and Limited Authorization. Full Authorization is granted to schools and colleges that demonstrate a commitment to high-quality instruction, including the use of qualified faculty and adequate resources. Limited Authorization is granted to schools and colleges that meet the minimum standards for authorization, but do not meet the full standards required for Full Authorization. The program also requires that schools and colleges must complete an application and submit it to NOSED for review and approval. The application is evaluated based on the school's or college's curriculum, faculty qualifications, and resources, as well as the school's or college's overall commitment to providing quality pre-licensing courses. Once approved, schools and colleges may offer pre-licensing courses to eligible students.
