*Please note for the 2018-2019 admission year The Chicago School’s Chicago campus accepted 109 transfer students from accredited Argosy doctoral programs that abruptly closed on March 8, 2019. These students were at all levels of the program, including some who were on internship. As such, the data regarding time to completion will indicate shorter than average times to completion for the degree due to these transfer students.

*Please note for the 2018-2019 admission year The Chicago School’s Chicago campus accepted 109 transfer students from accredited Argosy doctoral programs that abruptly closed on March 8, 2019. In light of this unusual situation, the attrition rate for the 2018-19 academic year reflects greater than usual attrition due to a higher attrition rate among transfer students.

Program Disclosures

Such policies or practices may include, but are not limited to, admissions, hiring, retention policies, and/or requirements for completion that express mission and values.
