4. Attrition
The table below lists the cohort attrition for each class in accordance with the American
Psychological Association’s Commission of Accreditation (CoA) Implementing Regulations (C-
20: Disclosure of Education/Training Outcomes and Information). It is important to note that
cohort attrition is not the same as annual attrition (the percentage of students who either
withdraw or are dismissed in a year). Also, this table provides attrition information about each
class at a moment in time, and does not (except arguably for the information for the class with 7
years information) provide total cohort attrition (the attrition rate for the total class across the
total time the class is in the program).

5. Licensure *
Number of graduates 2-10 years post-graduation (2000-2008) = 122
Number of graduates with known licensure status = 109
Number of graduates licensed as psychologists = 86
Percentage of graduates licensed = 70%**
Percentage of graduates with known status licensed = 79%
* Based upon data collected through January 2011
** According to the APA Implementing Regulations (C-20) accredited doctoral programs’
licensure rate must be calculated by dividing the number of graduates who became licensed
psychologists in the 8 year span from 2 to 10 years ago by the number of doctoral degrees
awarded by the program over that same period; graduates whose status is unknown are
counted as unlicensed.
For Argosy University, San Francisco Bay Area, we have 122 graduates between 2000 and
2008. We know the licensure status of 109 of our graduates and of those 109, 86 are licensed.
According to the APA formula this results in a licensure rate of 70%. The percent licensed from
known graduates is 79% (86 of the 109 graduates whose licensure status is known).
