Our Orange County California campus, is located next to UC Irvine in the heart of University Plaza, a beautiful pedestrian mall bustling with college students, quaint shops, open air cafes, and a variety of restaurants. Students enjoy free parking, access to UC Irvine?s libraries, and a short drive to the 405, 55, and 71 freeways, area beaches, and Disneyland.
The Irvine campus is also home to one of our well-known Chicago School Counseling Centers which provide students the extraordinary opportunity to gain real-world training while also learning marketing and operations related to running a private practice or mental health clinic.
Since its founding in 1979, the School has become recognized as innovators in the field, always exploring psychology?s potential to meet the evolving health, business, forensic, and human development needs of our society. Its approach to psychology training and education is unique in several important ways:
? Emphasis on applied learning. Students learn by doing, and they leave with powerful and full r?sum?s. In addition to a traditional internship, students enjoy a rich spectrum of clinical training, community service, and applied field research opportunities that prepare them for success in a way few other schools can.
? Focus on diversity. The School actively infuses all of its academic programs with curricula to build students? knowledge of and competence in working with people from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. The Chicago School was recently recognized by the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology for distinguished service and outstanding contributions to cultural diversity.
? Practitioner faculty. The faculty members are focused not just on theory and research, but on meeting the real-world challenges of individuals, organizations, and society. They bring their years of professional experience into the classroom, providing a rich?yet powerfully practical?educational experience for their students.
? Intimate learning community that allows for personalized attention and frequent interaction and collaboration with faculty and fellow students.
? Campuses in large, metropolitan cities that offer an unrivaled range of opportunities for clinical training, community service, field research, and professional networking.
DOCTORAL PROGRAMS
Psychology (PsyD)
Many individuals choose to gain broad knowledge in all areas of psychology rather than specializing in one particular area. Rather, psychology ?generalists? study many aspects of human behavior and mental processes?such as emotion, cognition, decision making, consumer behavior, culture, personality development, social relationships, group dynamics, and normal vs. abnormal behavior.
Clinical Forensic Psychology(PsyD)
Forensic psychology is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology and practitioners find work in an ever-expanding range of settings?including child welfare agencies, forensic units in state mental health facilities, jails and prisons, community mental health centers, juvenile correctional facilities, government agencies, family courts, and private practice.
The Forensic Psychology graduate program integrates the eight core competencies informed by the educational model of the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology (NCSPP), helping prepare students to sit for the national licensure exam in clinical psychology.
