Professional Licensure

Champion Christian College works diligently to maintain the highest curriculum standards to prepare students for employment opportunities after program completion. While the campus and online curriculums provide students with the fundamental information needed for employment in their selected area of study, Champion makes no claim that completion of the program requirements results in automatic professional licensure. Each student must seek professional licensure through the examination or certification process designated by the governing board(s) in their respective state or region.
