V. Licensure (Data from 1999 – 2005)

Number of licensed psychologists = 9 (53%)

7 (41%) individuals are not yet eligible for licensure

2 (12%) indicate that they do not intend to become licensed

100% of individuals who sat for the Examination for Practice of Professional Psychology (the “licensing exam”) passed on their first try.

The program prepares graduates to become licensed as psychologists though we recognize that this is an individual career decision. Given our program’s strong preparation for conducting research, we expect that some of our graduates will pursue academic or research careers where becoming licensed is not an essential requirement and therefore some will, of their own choice, not pursue it.
