*Data are not presented if n=1
**BA/BS = students entering with a bachelor's degree or with a masters degree without thesis (required to be in residence a minimum of 4 years before internship)
*** MA/MS = students entering with a Psychology Master's degree, with empirical thesis (required to be in residence of minimum of 3 years before internship)

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%)


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 40
Graduates who do not plan to pursue licensure 2 (5%)
Graduates who are in the process of completing licensure requirements 10 (25%)
Graduates who are currently licensed 28 (70%)
