STUDENT ASSISTANTSHIPS AND FUNDING

The availability of assistantships for students varies by year.  Below is data on the funding of first year clinical PhD students for the last 7 years.

 FUNDING OF FIRST YEAR CLINICAL PhD STUDENTS

NOTE:  In 2001-2002 one student received funding for spring semester only.                                                                         

The Clinical Psychology Department has six Graduate Assistantships (GA's) with stipends and tuition coverage totaling from $24,738 to $25,674 per student annually.                     

Additional graduate and research assistantships are awarded competitively through other University departments as well as through grants obtained by Psychology Department Faculty.  Due to the success of our faculty at attracting research grants, more students have been supported on psychology research assistantships.  Additionally, some graduate students have received scholarships funded through the University and the State of Oklahoma.

SUCCESS RATES FOR STUDENTS APPLYING FOR INTERNSHIPS IN THE PAST SEVEN YEARS 

 Note:  These numbers differ slightly from the National Matching Service Numbers http://www.appic.org/match/5_2_2_match_about_statistics.html since 3 students in total across years 07-08, 06-07, and 04-05 placed after the match.

 ATTRITION  

In the past seven years (academic years 2001- 2007), 56 students have matriculated into the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Program.  Seven of those students have left the program without earning the Ph.D. representing an attrition rate of 12.56%  However 4 of these seven did switch to the terminal masters degree program and completed that degree.

 LICENSURE DATA

What is the Licensure Outcome of Graduates?

Of the 32 clinical doctoral students graduating between 1997-2005, 72% have become licensed psychologists. Of the 9 graduates who have not been licensed, 6 are employed in the following settings:  as a research or health consultant, a law professor, and a psychology professor. As of December 2007, the 3 graduates who did not respond to the survey were all working in psychology settings (hospital or federal), and one of them had recently applied for licensure.
