ABOUT THE CHICAGO SCHOOL

The Chicago School is a not-for-profit, accredited institution with more than 3,500 students at campuses across the country (Chicago, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, Calif., and Washington, D.C.) and online. As the nation's oldest and largest graduate school devoted exclusively to psychology and related behavioral science, TCSPP offers more than 20 degree programs and a wealth of opportunities for international experiences.

Our focus is not strictly on research or traditional clinical practice, but on preparing students to be extraordinary practitioners, equipped to make a lasting impact on individual lives, in business settings, in diverse and underserved communities, and around the globe.

THE ONLINE-BLENDED EXPERIENCE

The Chicago School's online-blended programs enable students with full-time work or family commitments to get a renowned education and seize their personal and professional goals--without putting their current lives on hold.

A number of our programs are taught predominantly online with a small “synchronous virtual residency” component (a one or two-hour session each term in which all students are expected to be online simultaneously), while other programs are offered in a "blended" format that combines both online and on-campus learning.

Building on our long tradition of producing outstanding psychology practitioners, our online-blended programs combine the quality of a Chicago School education with the convenience that you need today.

Accreditation:

The Chicago School is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association.
