The Chicago School of Professional Psychology is the nation’s leading nonprofit school dedicated exclusively to psychology and related fields. Our approach to psychology education and training is distinctive in several important ways:
- Our unique online learning model. The Chicago School’s online/blended programs are designed to make distance learning feel anything but distant. Through real-time components (including teleconferences, live chats and one-on-one calls), occasional team projects, and field work, our students are able to interact directly with faculty and fellow students and apply what they are learning in real-world settings. Each program’s learning objectives and classroom assignments require students to apply what they are learning to their existing work life—resulting in a truly relevant and applicable educational experience.
- Our practitioner faculty. Chicago School faculty members are focused not just on theory and research, but on meeting the real-world challenges of individuals, organizations, and society. They bring their years of professional experience into the classroom, providing a rich—yet powerfully practical—educational experience for our students.
- Our commitment to diversity. The Chicago School believes that multicultural awareness and culturally-sensitive therapeutic approaches are crucial to the successful practice of psychology in today’s world. We actively infuse all of our academic programs with curricula to build students’ knowledge of and competence in working with people from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives.
- Our innovative programs. Since our founding in 1979, we have become recognized as innovators in the field, always exploring psychology’s potential to meet the emerging health, business, forensic, and human development needs of our society. For example, our Business Psychology program was developed to equip students with a powerful balance between business acumen and expertise in psychology, to more effectively lead organizations in today’s behavior-driven workplace.
The Chicago School offers a broad range of programs, some at its on-ground campuses and others online. This website is dedicated to our online programs only. For our on-campus programs please contact us at (866) 907-4209 or fill out our Information Request Form.
