Applicant read

How to interpret this program

A strong program profile should help applicants separate source facts from practical fit questions.

Degree path

This is an entry-level doctoral pathway. Compare the added time and cost against fieldwork quality, capstone fit, faculty access, and local career return.

Format fit

Campus-based programs still vary by lab schedule, commute burden, fieldwork geography, and clinical specialty exposure. Ask for the weekly schedule and fieldwork map.

Accreditation runway

The next ACOTE review window is 2026/2027, so applicants should ask what has changed since the last review and whether the program expects any status updates.

NBCOT performance

Certification exam performance history
