Programs

As the nation's leading nonprofit psychology graduate school, The Chicago School offers an unrivaled range of programs in psychology and related behavioral health sciences. Students are able to choose from traditional weekday coursework as well as flexible evening/weekend and online options. In addition, many of our programs enable students to “customize” their coursework to best suit their individual interests and career goals--by selecting concentrations or specializations in areas such as Latino mental health, sport and exercise psychology, gerontology, organizational leadership, addictions, and more.

The Chicago School is known for fostering one of the field's most pioneering and innovative learning environments. Our faculty members participate in programs to measure their effectiveness as teachers and receive year-round training in attitudes, behaviors and processes that support student learning. In addition, we systematically evaluate student learning outcomes and apply the assessment skills and 360-degree feedback tools of the psychology field to help students better understand and capitalize on their unique learning styles.
