APA-Accredited PsyD Programs, Scored on Published Outcomes

A PsyD is a long, expensive commitment, and the numbers that separate programs are scattered across APA disclosures, ASPPB exam reports, and APPIC match data. We built PsyDPrograms.net to bring them together for every APA-accredited PsyD program that admits new students, score them on a published seven-factor method, and show each program's exact accreditation status.

117 PsyD programs ranked APA-accredited and admitting new students

7 scoring factors Weights adding to 100, published in Methodology v2

93 programs with EPPP pass rates ASPPB first-time pass rates, 2021 through 2025

33 state and territory rankings One for every jurisdiction with a ranked program

The Problem

The Outcomes That Matter Live in Different Reports

Whether a PsyD student matches to an internship and passes the licensing exam says more about a program than its brochure does, but those figures sit with APPIC and ASPPB, and cost and completion sit in each program's APA disclosures. The site scores every ranked program on cost (20 points), graduate earnings (20), completion (15), internship and licensure outcomes (15), track record (10), credential alignment (10), and program reputation (10).

The entry bar is spelled out too. APA's list held 124 PsyD programs when it was read on October 12, 2026. Four listed as inactive and three with closure, teach-out, or paused-admissions notices on the school's own pages are never scored, leaving 117. Programs on contingency or probation are ranked on the same factors, and each card prints the exact APA status.

The Research Tools

The Full Score, Then the Licensing Exam on Its Own

Applicants usually start with the overall ranking, then check one number before they commit to five years: how a program's graduates do on the licensing exam.

The national ranking

117 Programs, Each Scored Out of 100

The national list scores all 117 APA-accredited PsyD programs open to new students on Methodology v2. Indiana State University ranks first at 80.3, and the page says why: it retains 97% of the students who enter and 94% of its 34 first-time EPPP takers passed. Each card shows tuition, EPPP and internship match rates, graduates, the factor scores out of 10 and the exact APA status, including the 16 programs on contingency and 1 on probation.

EPPP pass rates

First-Time Licensing Exam Results by Program

The pass rate list orders the 93 ranked programs with a published ASPPB rate by first-time pass rate for takers from 2021 through 2025. Indiana University of Pennsylvania leads at 100% of 48 first-time takers, the median is 68%, and the page sets both against the 75% rate for all accredited doctoral programs.
