Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

I am applying for licensure as a psychologist in New York State. My education has met the requirements of New Jersey and Delaware. I graduated from an American Psychological Association accredited program, and completed an APA-accredited internship.
The problem is that New York State requires content areas covered that other states do not require -- and are looking for those areas in course titles. They are currently reviewing my syllabi, in which I identified that the areas they required were covered by courses with different names.
If they do not agree with me that I have covered the material, can I sue?
Thank you.

Each state does have a right to set their own standards for the requirement of obtaining licenses.

The several states even have different standards for obtaining a law license.

Accordingly, you cannot sue NYS simply because the standards in NY are different than in other states for your license.
