Retention Rate
Students in the Clinical PsyD program are retained in the program at high rates. The one-year retention rate for those entering the Clinical PsyD program in Fall 2024 was 96% (88/92).
Methodology: Retention rate is calculated as the number of students who enrolled in a Fall term of one academic year and returned in the subsequent Fall term. Retention rate = (# retained in Fall 2025)/(# started in Fall 2024). When the program length is one year or less, the retained count includes those who were retained one-semester later (e.g., Spring 2025/Fall 2024) or graduated within one-year of starting the program (e.g., # Graduated between 9/1/24 and 8/31/25 divided by # starting in Fall 2024). This retention metrics tracks students who return to the same program version level (program and modality).
