School PsyD Additional Outcomes
Retention Rate
Students in the School PsyD program are retained at high rates. The average one-year retention rate for those entering the School PsyD program in Falls 2017 and 2018 was 80% (4/5). This program is being phased out. The last entering cohort was in Fall 2018.
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).
