Attrition

There are a number of reasons students leave the program prematurely.  Examples of reasons include (1) dismissal due to failure to make adequate progress in the program (academic/personal difficulties) or the student's decision to (2) pursue a research area not offered in program, or (3) pursue a degree other than clinical psychology or (4) discontinue due to health/financial/personal concerns.

Students admitted to the program between 2002/2003 - 2008/2009	56
Of these, the number of students who left the program prior to completion of Ph.D.	5 (9%)

The majority of our graduates pursue professional licensure within one to two years after they have graduated.  A small number of students enter work environments (e.g., academic, research) that do not require licensure.
