Leadership PsyD Student Admissions, Outcomes and Other Data

Retention Rate

Students in the Leadership PsyD (Blended) program are retained at high rates. The average one-year retention rate for the last four entering cohorts (Falls 2019 to 2022) was 90% (43/48).

Methodology: Retention rate is calculated as new students who enrolled in a Fall term of one academic year and came back the subsequent Fall term, e.g.  retention rate = (# retained in Fall 2023)/(# started in Fall 2022). When the program length is one year or less, the retained count includes those who were retained one-semester later (e.g., Spring 2023/Fall 2022) or graduated within one-year of starting the program (e.g., # Graduated between 9/1/22 and 8/31/23 divided by # starting in Fall 2022). This retention metrics tracks students who return to the same program version level (program and modality).

Methodology: Those starting in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 were the most recent graduating cohort who would complete their degree within 150% of time. Time to degree in months is calculated by subtracting the start date of the student from the date the degree was completed or conferred and reported in average months. 150% Graduation rate is calculated for full-time and part-time students combined; The 150% graduation rate is calculated by taking students who enrolled in Fall and Spring terms of one academic year (starting cohort) and graduated within 150% of the program length, e.g., 6 years (150% graduation rate for Leadership PsyD), divided by the starting cohort.
