Education and Training Outcomes for Clinical Graduate Students
Time To Completion
The mean number of years that students have taken to complete the program from the time of program entrance for all graduates of the clinical/personality program over the past seven years is 5.77 (SD = .799). The median and mode of this distribution equals 6 years. 7.69% of these students completed the program in fewer than five years, 23.08% completed the program in five years, 53.85% completed the program in six years, 15.38% completed the program in seven years and 0% completed the program in more than seven years.
Funding
We do not admit students unless we can commit to fully fund them for five academic years including tuition and a stipend, as well as a stipend for three summers. This support comes from a variety of sources including university fellowships, national fellowships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships on faculty grants.
Attrition
From 2000/2001 – 2006/2007 19 students have been admitted to the Clinical/Personality Program. Three of those students have left the program, an attrition rate of 15.79%.
