To my knowledge when SABA became CA approved, the approval was retroactive 2-4 years, and was wondering if MUA approvals will most likely follow the same pattern..
Regardless, a big congrats goes to the staff and students of MUA for being recognized by NY! Let's hope they continue on to receive recognition by CA and the remaining states..

I think you are a little confused regarding what the NY approval process was actually about. The NY approval process is not about making MUA graduates eligible for licensure in NY. It is only about 2 things: 1) making MUA students eligible to do more than 12 weeks of rotations in NY and 2) making MUA students eligible to do residency in NY. Any MUA graduate who currently has a license in any other state is eligible to get a full license in NY (due to reciprocity), even if MUA had not been NY-approved at the time of their graduation. So retroactivity doesn't mean anything to current grads. The people who truly benefit from this are future grads who can now rotate in NY longer and who can do residency in NY state. Somebody on this forum wrote that upto 20% of the residencies in the US are in NY; if that's true, then NY approval opens up a lot more opportunities for residency than currently exist.
