University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Counseling Psych PhD

Looking for some insight into the Counseling Psychology program at Wisconsin-Milwaukee:

Funding and outcomes appear to be okay recently. Attrition looks fairly high though. Anyone have specific knowledge about the program?

Attrition doesn’t look that high to me. It’s not unusual for one or two people per cohort to leave by choice or because they aren’t cut out for the program. With numbers as small as they are for cohort the percentages can be misleading. For instance 4 people applied for match one year, 3 were placed and 1 withdrew which results in a 75% but its only one person. Compared with some of the predatory schools that have 40+ people applying for match and a 75% match rate.
