Attrition

There are a number of reasons students leave the program prematurely.  Most frequently these involve the student's decision to (1) pursue a research area not offered in program or (2) pursue a degree other than clinical psychology.  Less frequently these reasons are for (3) health/personal concerns or (4) failure to make adequate progress in the program (academic/personal difficulties).

Students admitted to the program between 2001-2008 58
Students who left the program prior to completion of Ph.D. 5 (8%)


Professional Licensure

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.

Ph.D. Graduates between Fall 2000 - Summer 2007 47
Graduates who do not plan to pursue licensure 2 (4%)
Graduates who are in the process of completing licensure requirements 17 (36%)
Graduates who are currently licensed 28 (59%)
