Student Admissions, Outcomes, and Other Data
Time to Completion
In an effort to accelerate time to completion, we have, as of Fall 2010, revised a) the curriculum, b) the schedule and format of doctoral examinations, and c) our student advisement system. We have also increased our efforts to involve students in faculty scholarship and research. As a result, incoming students are now able to complete their coursework in three, rather than four years, and will have completed both the First and Second Doctoral Examinations by the middle of the third year. This will pave the way for them to concentrate on their dissertations in the fourth year. Students are expected to select dissertation mentors by the end of their third year, and must have an approved dissertation proposal prior to applying for internship.
We have initiated a rigorous system to monitor and encourage student progress twice yearly. Students receive written feedback on their academic and clinical progress once a year. Students who fail to comply with deadlines are asked to take a leave of absence (if circumstances warrant such a decision) or to leave the program (if they have not been able to meet explicit expectations).
It will take time for the effects of these changes to be successfully realized. We have made it a priority to reduce the number of students who have been in the program longer than 8 years. In September 2010, we had 19 such outliers; currently, we have only 4. A result of this effort, though, is that the mean time for completion of the program in 2011-2012 increased, as we graduated a number of these students. Students are moving faster and more reliably through the program, and we expect our time for completion to go down significantly in the years to come.

Program Costs (Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid)
CUNY is financed by New York State and, thus, there is an in-state and out-of-state residence tuition structure. An in-state, first-year student in 2012-2013 pays $3,885 per semester or $7,770 for the entire academic year. An out-of-state resident is charged $755 per credit. Because a first-year student in the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at CUNY takes 15 credits of courses per semester, the resulting tuition for an out-of-state student is $11,325 per semester or $22,650 per year. There is an application process by which an out-of-state resident can apply for reclassification as an in-state student. Details on that process are available here at the Graduate Center’s tuition rates page.
For current, detailed, comprehensive information about financing your studies, please visit The Graduate Center's "Tuition and Fees" webpage by clicking here.
Financial aid for doctoral matriculants consists of fellowships, grants, assistantships, loans, and City College work-study assignments. Special fellowships for minority students are also available.
Financial aid varies from year to year, but typically a range of fellowship support is available to students during their years in residence, and at least half the students in the Program are receiving funding of some type. All awards are made on the basis of need and merit. Detailed information on a range of fellowships is available here.
Requests for applications and any additional information (e.g. financial aid) should be addressed to:
