Programs are expected to report the number and percentage of students who have failed to complete the program once matriculated. From 2004–2010 the Clinical Psychology program had an 8% attrition rate.

Licensure Outcomes

Licensure

Programs are expected to report the number and percentage of program graduates who have become licensed psychologists within the preceding decade.  This would be the 8 years spanning the period of 2-10 years post graduation. The following information is licensure reporting by graduates for the period of 2000–2008.

Overall, 69% of graduates between 2000–2008 have been licensed. However, 5% of our graduate students have not applied for licensure because they are in other professional positions that do not require licensure. The following is a breakdown:
number of graduates for this period 36
number who reported applying for licensure 25
number who obtained licensure 25
number who did not apply because they are in other professional positions that do not require licensure 2
number of graduates who did not report licensure information 9
