Licensure

Consistent with the Commission on Accreditation’s implementing regulations, licensure rates are calculated using the number of students with known licensure over the total number of graduates. All students whose licensure status is unknown are counted as "unlicensed." Therefore the actual licensure rate of graduates may be higher than the number from the APA/COA formula.

Outcome 2008 - 2018
Total number of program graduates (doctoral degrees conferred on transcript) between 2 and 10 years ago 95
The number of these graduates (between 2 and 10 years ago) who became licensed psychologists in the past 10 years 65
Licensure percentage 68%
