Ph.D. in International Psychology
- A three year, post-master’s program—offered in both an online-blended and an online/blended format
- Students choose one of two concentrations:
- Organizations and Systems, which is offered online-blended
- Trauma Services, which is offered in a “blended” format that includes both online-blended classes and one weekend in Chicago during each of the four concentration-related courses.
- Students engage in two nine-day international field experiences (one in year two and another in year three) as well as two required weekend residencies that focus on research and dissertation preparation.
- Program is particularly appropriate for professionals who work or desire to work for multinational corporations, international non-governmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations (e.g. UN organizations), governmental agencies, and faith based organizations with international missions.
- Graduates are equipped with advanced research and program evaluation skills coupled with a rich appreciation for the individual and group consequences of global events—preparing them to apply psychological principles in the development of policy; assist individuals and organizations with understanding and collaborating with diverse cultural populations and all levels of international organizations and functional systems; and design and evaluate the efficacy of international programs.
Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership
- Offered online-blended
- A three-year, post-master’s program offered in a unique format tailored to the needs of busy working professionals. Students take just one or two courses at a time and progress through the program in a “cohort” fashion (i.e., with the same group of fellow students in each of their classes for the duration of the program).
- Curriculum includes coursework in leadership, research, ethics, interpersonal dynamics, and a range of electives to support each student’s unique career goals—preparing graduates to apply the principles of psychology and leadership theory in a broad range of settings, to more effectively lead individuals and organizations to success.
- Students engage in two brief residencies (roughly three and a half days each) at our Chicago campus—providing an opportunity for face-to-face interaction and networking with fellow students from around the globe who bring a wealth of diverse leadership experiences and perspectives. At the first residency, which occurs during year one of the program, students meet with their personal faculty mentor and engage in focused seminars aimed at helping them formulate their dissertation topics and prepare for the research process. At the second residency which takes place in year three, students focus on completing their dissertations and associated processes.
- Graduates are able to select, implement, and manage appropriate leadership methodologies to meet individual, group and organizational needs in non-profit, for-profit, and pastoral settings.
