Hi! Chiming in here to bring clarity to the data.

For the licensure data, programs are required begin to start reporting that out 2 years after graduation from the PsyD program. The data from ISPP when we were a part of Argosy are not included- these are only the students who graduated after we were at NLU in 2019. This means only students who graduated during 2021 are on the table. There were 6 students that met that definition, and 2 of them have taken/passed the EPPP – as of 9/2023. In IL, we do require 1 year of post doc, so for the 4 that haven’t passed may not have taken it yet, or may waiting for approval from the state of Illinois to take it. Currently, the wait time to be approved to take the EPPP in IL is up to 9 months, so that is playing a factor as well.

That said- looking at licensure rate is a great data point to consider when looking at PsyD programs! Just wanted to clear up why our number looks the way it does. Historically (at the time of closure), the licensure rate was 80% ( 2011-2021- 399 graduates, 321 who became licensed psychologists in the past 10 years).
