Federal regulations require Rosalind Franklin University to publicly disclose, for each educational program designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation (or advertised as meeting those requirements), information about whether program completion would meet those requirements in a state.  All degree and certificate programs at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS) are approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
