Is a degree from New Haven enough to get licensed?

The degree satisfies the education requirement and nothing else. Supervised hours after graduation, and a passing examination score, are what turn it into a Connecticut license, and both take real time to complete.

Why do some programs in New Haven score lower than others?

Usually it means less has been published, not that less is taught. Scoring rests on disclosed cohort outcomes, so a thin published record sits below a full one. Each row says which of the two it is.

Where do these figures come from?

The figures on this page come from records their subjects publish themselves. What is accredited here is COAMFTE's record; what each program achieved is that program's own disclosure, which accreditation obliges it to publish, Southern Connecticut State University included; what the work pays is the federal survey. None of it is our estimate.
