For more than 30 years, The Chicago School has been known as an innovator in the field, working to push the boundaries and further the impact that psychology has on our world.
Our unique educational model—known as The Engaged Professional Model—is based heavily on learning through community service and on grooming students to be "engaged" and active participants in their communities, applying their knowledge and skills in new and powerful ways to serve the greater good.
Our students learn not only through their classroom work, but through an unparalleled range of real-world training experiences. Our online-blended curricula provides students opportunities to immediately apply what they are learning in their existing work and personal lives—refining their professional skills while making a positive impact.
The Engaged Professional Model redefines the role of the professional. No longer limited to research or traditional clinical practice, engaged professionals are multiculturally and professionally proficient individuals who are integral parts of their communities, approach practice and scholarship from the broader view of innovators, transformers, and problem solvers, and use their disciplines to make positive and lasting impact on the world.
