* Percentage licensed is based on number of students contacted during
the reporting period (56 out of 59 possible graduates).
We were unable to contact 3 of our graduates as of
this reporting, and thus their licensure status
is unknown. Of those students reporting being unlicensed
(n = 7), approximately 4 (or 57%) indicated plans
to sit for the licensing exam and/or are preparing for
the exam. The remaining 3 (or 43%) of those indicating
being unlicensed at the present time are in research
and/or academic positions that do not require them
to be licensed.
