DLAB

The State of Wisconsin regulates approximately 280 different credential types. Individuals and institutions of higher education are directed to contact the Wisconsin state agency or state board responsible for licensing individuals in various professions.

The Wisconsin Distance Leaming Authorization Board (DLAB) does not review the requirements, if any, for experiential learning placements or supervised field experiences ( e.g., clinical rotations, practica, student teaching, internships, etc.) from out-of-state (or in-state) educational programs for their students participating in such programs in Wisconsin.
