School MA/CAGS Additional Outcomes
Retention Rate
Students in the MA/CAGS in School Psychology program are retained at high rates. The one-year retention rate for those entering the program in Fall 2022 was 88% (14/16).
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).

The School MA/CAGS program length is 3 years. The 150% graduation rate for the most recent graduating cohort was 85% (17/20). The average time to degree for this cohort was 34 months.
Methodology: Those starting in Fall 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., 4.5 years, divided by the starting cohort.
