 Since 2002, 56 students have enrolled in the doctoral program in school psychology.  Sixteen (28.6%) students have graduated with the Ph.D. in school psychology.  Thirty-six (64.3%) students are still enrolled.  Over the last 7 years, only 4 (7.1%) students have left the doctoral program in school psychology.  Of the four students who decided not to continue in the doctoral program, two decided to complete the Ed.S. degree and began working in the schools as school psychologists.   One student passed away after a long battle with cancer and the other student decided to leave the program for personal reasons.
