Student Admissions, Outcomes, and Other Data University of North Texas Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Program

Transcription

1 We are providing the following information to fully disclose to prospective students, current students, and the public information about our program processes and outcomes, including time to completion, program costs, internships, attrition, and licensure. As a member program of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology (CUDCP), the Clinical program has a history of providing such comparative information. All member programs "support the provision of fuller disclosure about operations and outcomes of our educational endeavors." We recognize that these numbers may have little meaning. These numbers provide some information about our current students, but do not tell the whole story. Prospective applicants are discouraged from inferring from these data how likely they are to be admitted to the program or how quickly they will complete requirements. There are many factors that cannot be easily captured by these data. For example, our program does not screen applicants merely on GRE scores. High GRE scores will not automatically result in admission; rather, we review all aspects of the applicant's record to determine who will likely be the best fit for our program. In our review process we consider the following: research experiences clinical experiences quality of undergraduate training letters of recommendation GRE/GPA applicant's interest and fit with our program What is important for an applicant is that this program truly engages in "truth in advertising" about what it does. We provide much information about our program so that applicants may find an appropriate fit with us or with another training program elsewhere. and Accreditation, 0 First Street, NE, Washington, DC apaaccred@apa.org Web:

2 Time to Completion for all students entering the program Outcome Year in which Degrees were Conferred Total Total number of students with doctoral degree conferred on transcript number of years to complete the program number of years to complete the program Time to Degree Ranges N % Students in less than years Students in years Students in years Students in years Students in more than years The maximum amount of credit for appropriate prior graduate work is 30 semester hours. An entering student may request to waive a combination of program (no more than hours) and departmental course requirements up to this limit. This may reduce the length of time for completion of the program, but this varies by individual and cannot be assured. The numbers in the above table somewhat overestimate the length of time to degree completion due to some internship programs ending past the deadline for summer (early August) graduation. For those students, the degree is awarded at December commencement. Functionally, however, such students are simply pending institutional ceremony and are no longer enrolled. Program Costs Description st -year Cohort Cost Tuition for full-time students (in-state) $,2. Tuition for full-time students (out-of-state) $1,22.

Our program's rate of passing the licensure exam, according to ASPPB who oversees the exam nationally, is %. and Accreditation, 0 First Street, NE, Washington, DC apaaccred@apa.org Web:
