The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology (in Chicago, Southern California, and Online) is the world's oldest and largest graduate university focused exclusively on psychology and related behavioral sciences. As a professional school, our focus is not strictly on research and theory, but on preparing students to be extraordinary practitioners, providing direct service to help individuals and organizations thrive. We prepare our students with superior theoretical knowledge—coupled with a wholly unrivaled range of real-world training experiences; opportunities to build their multicultural and global sophistication; and ongoing personal and professional mentorship from faculty who are active leaders in their fields. Our students graduate with both the knowledge and the practical skills they need to make an impact in the world and achieve their goals.

The Chicago School is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and an active member of the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology, which has recognized The Chicago School for its distinguished service and outstanding contributions to cultural diversity and advocacy. In addition, The Chicago School recently became the only professional psychology school named to President Obama's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service.

Located directly on the Chicago River in the heart of downtown, our Chicago campus is just steps away from Lake Michigan, the theatre district, the famed Magnificent Mile, dozens of museums, and some of the world's top restaurants and clubs. Sometimes described as a colorful "patchwork quilt" of diverse neighborhoods—including Greek, Chinese, Indian, Irish, Jewish, Mexican, Native American, African American, Polish, Swedish, Tibetan, Ukrainian, and more—Chicago provides a true multicultural environment for your educational training.

EdS in School Psychology

School psychologists are experts in both psychology and education. They apply that knowledge to help children and youth with disabilities, psychological concerns, and special talents achieve their full potentials academically, socially, and emotionally. School psychologists are an integral part of the educational team of a school yet they often work directly with students and their families, assessing academic skills and aptitudes, determining eligibility for special education services, evaluating social-emotional development and mental health status, training parents on approaches that will assist their children's learning, and providing individual or family counseling to resolve emotional or interpersonal issues that may interfere with school performance.

School psychologists also play a critical administrative and leadership role. For example, they lead efforts to make schools safer and improve learning outcomes, promote tolerance and appreciation of diversity, improve teacher effectiveness and classroom behavior management skills, address substance abuse issues, and prevent and manage crises.

The demand for trained, caring school psychologists is at an all-time high. Because of the high need, the majority of School Psychologists graduates will choose to work in public schools yet private settings also actively pursue School Psychologists.
