Is a degree from Orem enough to get licensed?

A degree from Orem gets you to the starting line. The Utah board licenses on three things together: the qualifying degree, a stretch of supervised post-graduate practice, and the examination. Missing any one leaves you unlicensed.

Why do some programs in Orem score lower than others?

A lower number here is most often a disclosure gap rather than a teaching one. The composite rewards published outcomes, and a program that has published little cannot score as though it had. The evidence column makes that explicit.

Where do these figures come from?

These figures come from the COAMFTE directory for what is accredited in Orem, from each program's own published outcome table for the rates, and from the federal wage survey for pay. The links in the table lead to the first two.
