Overview

The Chicago School is a nonprofit institution specializing in psychology and the behavioral sciences, with its Chicago campus focused primarily on graduate study in clinical, counseling, and applied psychology. Undergraduate offerings exist but are limited, making this fundamentally a graduate-oriented professional school rather than a traditional four-year college.

Academics

Programs concentrate on clinical, counseling, and applied psychology, structured around professional licensure preparation rather than a traditional broad undergraduate curriculum, with coursework oriented toward the practical skills and supervised training required for future clinical practice.

Worth knowing

This is primarily a graduate school for psychology and behavioral-science professionals; prospective undergraduates should confirm what limited programs are actually available at the undergraduate level, and how they connect to the school's graduate pipeline, before applying.
