A total of 42 students have graduate with the Ph.D. in school psychology over the last 7 years. The average time to completion for students who were admitted to the doctoral program and who held a master’s degree (N=38) at time of admittance was 5.56 years (Median = 5 years). For students who were direct admits (held a BA or BS degree only), the average time to complete the doctoral program was 7.5 years (N=4; Median=6 years). Of these four, 2 (50%) took less than 7 years and 2 (50%) each took over 7 years to complete the program. Of the 38 who were admitted with a master’s degree, 17 (44.74%) completed the doctoral degree in less than 5 years. Only 7 students (18.42%), who were admitted with a master’s degree, took over 7 years to complete the degree.
