Education, innovation, service, and community; these four words are at the heart of The Chicago School’s mission.  

What began nearly 30 ago as a small regional Clinical Psy.D. program, is today the nation’s largest nonprofit school dedicated to the training and advancement of professional psychology. Our urban locations in the heart of downtown Chicago and Los Angeles makes us an exciting place to work, teach, and learn.

The Chicago School draws students from all around the globe to one of the world's most vibrant cities. We prepare tomorrow's psychology leaders and practitioners by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to meet the evolving health, organizational, forensic, and human development needs of our society. Our dedicated faculty members bring years of professional practice to The Chicago School. As our field has evolved so have we by offering opportunities for study or specialization in key and emerging areas of psychology such as applied behavior analysis and forensic psychology. We are driven by one common purpose: to be the school of choice for the study of professional psychology.

To achieve this vision, The Chicago School is committed to innovation. Our Business Psychology Psy.D. program is the first of its kind in the country; diversity and multicultural studies are deeply rooted in all of our curricula. The Chicago School has twice been recognized by the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology: first for significant contributions to the area of diversity, and second for outstanding advocacy for the field of psychology.

To witness The Chicago School’s commitment to service and community, just look at our students. Each year Chicago School students engage in more than 400,000 hours of community service. Whether it is helping autistic children or working in schools, hospitals, drug treatment centers, or businesses, our students are making a profound difference.

The Chicago School's graduates are helping people and are working to build better communities in many settings all over the world. If you would like an innovative and personal education with a commitment to diversity, service, and community, please consider The Chicago School.

Sincerely,

Michael Horowitz, Ph.D.
