State Authorization Availability
In addition to offering all state of Georgia core requirements fully online, Albany State University also offers a variety of degrees, programs, and certificates through fully online and hybrid platforms. Certain programs and certificates require practicums, proctored exams, internships, and other activities which trigger State Authorization requirements.
ASU has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements.
