*Please note that data for 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 are affected by The Chicago School’s DC’s acceptance of 293 transfer students from accredited Argosy doctoral programs that abruptly closed in March of 2019. These students were at all levels of the program, include some who were on internship. As such, the data regarding time to completion will indicate shorter than average times to completion for the degree due to these transfers because the data do not include time spent at a previous university. If students have taken comparable graduate coursework at another regionally accredited institution, they may petition to request transfer of up to 21 credits. Transferring coursework may not decrease the total length of time needed to complete the program.

*Please note that data for 2018-2019 are affected by The Chicago School’s DC’s acceptance of 293 transfer students from accredited Argosy doctoral programs that abruptly closed in March of 2019. These students were at all levels of the program, include some who were on internship. As such, the data regarding the number and percentage that received their doctoral degree is atypical and reflects this shorter than average times to completion for the degree due to these transfers.

Licensure

Outcome	2013-2023
The total number of program graduates (doctoral degrees conferred on transcript) between 2 and 10 years ago	322
The number of these graduates (between 2 and 10 years ago) who became licensed psychologists in the past 10 years	247
Licensure percentage	77%

Program Disclosures

As articulated in Standard I.B.2, programs may have “admission and employment policies that directly relate to affiliation or purpose” that may be faith-based or secular in nature. However, such policies and practices must be disclosed to the public. Therefore, programs are asked to respond to the following question.

Does the program or institution require students, trainees, and/or staff (faculty) to comply with specific policies or practices related to the institution’s affiliation or purpose? Such policies or practices may include, but are not limited to, admissions, hiring, retention policies, and/or requirements for completion that express mission and values.	Yes    X   No
If yes, provide website link (or content from brochure) where this specific information is presented:
