Student Demographics

Each year approximately 12-15 students are admitted into the first-year of the Program (at both specialist and doctoral levels) and a limited number with prior graduate training may be admitted at the advanced Doctoral level. The current student body in school psychology is composed of 6% males and 6% ethnic minority group members. There are 49 students total across the program. 60% of the school psychology students are in the Specialist-level degree program. A broad range of geographic areas and undergraduate institutions are represented. Most first-year students have recently completed their undergraduate training, although many have relevant work experience.

A special effort is made to recruit a diverse student body. As a reflection of the University of Cincinnati's commitment to ethnic minority students, the National Advisory Council on Black Higher Education recently identified the University as one of only 3 predominately white comprehensive research institutions to rise above the national average in retaining and graduating Black graduate and professional students. The School Psychology Program and the University are deeply committed to providing the guidance and support necessary for the successful completion of every student's program of study.
