Education, innovation, service, and community; these
four words are at the heart of The Chicago School’s
mission.
What began more than 25 years ago as a small
regional Clinical Psy.D. program, is today the
nation’s largest nonprofit school dedicated to
the training and advancement of professional psychology.
Our location in the heart of downtown Chicago makes
us an exciting place to work, teach, and learn.
The Chicago School draws students from all around
the globe to one of the world's most vibrant cities.
We prepare tomorrow's psychology leaders and practitioners
by equipping them with the knowledge and skills
to meet the evolving health, organizational, forensic,
and human development needs of our society. Our
dedicated faculty members bring years of professional
practice to The Chicago School. As our field has
evolved so have we by offering opportunities for
study or specialization in key and emerging areas
of psychology such as applied behavior analysis
and forensic psychology. We are driven by one common
purpose: to be the school of choice for the study
of professional psychology.
To achieve this vision, The Chicago School is
committed to innovation. Our Business Psychology
Psy.D. program is the first of its kind in the
country; diversity and multicultural studies are
deeply rooted in all of our curricula. The Chicago
School has twice been recognized by the National
Council of Schools and Programs of Professional
Psychology: first for significant contributions
to the area of diversity, and second for outstanding
advocacy for the field of psychology.
To witness The Chicago School’s commitment to
service and community, just look at our students.
Each year Chicago School students engage in more
than 400,000 hours of community service. Whether
it is helping autistic children or working in schools,
hospitals, drug treatment centers, or businesses,
our students are making a profound difference.
The Chicago School's graduates are helping people
and are working to build better communities in
many settings all over the world. If you would
like an innovative and personal education with
a commitment to diversity, services, and community,
please consider The Chicago School.
Sincerely,
Michael Horowitz, Ph.D.
President, The Chicago School
