No school shall offer a baccalaureate, master's, or doctoral degree program unless it has received a certificate of authorization from the Ohio board of regents and program authorization from the state board of career colleges and schools.

(a) It also holds an equivalent certificate issued by another state;

(b) It calls itself a "university" in that other state, as permitted under the terms of the other state's certificate;

(c) It has been issued degree program authorization under division (C) of section 3332.05 of the Revised Code.
