The Chicago School of Professional Psychology has brought its singular focus on preparing extraordinary psychology practitioners to the East Coast. Building on the success of campuses in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Orange County, Calif., the School will begin offering its practitioner-focused doctoral and master?s degree programs in the heart of Washington, D.C., in August 2010. Few cities or metropolitan areas are better matches for its long-held commitment to diversity and steadfast determination to work within multicultural communities, with a particular commitment to addressing the needs of underserved populations.
The Chicago School?s long-planned expansion became official June 23rd, when the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC) notified the School that it had extended its accreditation to include the newest campus. Previously, the School had received a license to operate by the Education Licensure Commission of Washington, D.C.
Located at the center of the political and governmental action, the newest campus provides students easy access to the historical and cultural riches that our capital city has to offer. Students will find themselves close to national monuments and museums, eclectic dining and shopping, and a plethora of organizations and agencies that can provide unparalleled real-world experiences for the psychology-professional-in-training. Like those enrolled at longer-established Chicago School campuses in other cities, Washington Campus students will learn from distinguished faculty members whose teaching credentials reach far beyond research and theory. All are active practitioners and leaders in their fields of expertise, bringing a wealth of first-hand understanding, perspective, and insight to the classroom. Integrally engaged in the community around them, faculty will immerse students in dynamic learning communities that include an unsurpassed level of hands-on skill building.
The Washington Metropolitan area is served by a robust public transit system, which facilitates travel within the area as well as to and from neighboring areas such as Baltimore and the suburban areas of Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.
Programs are also offered in an evening format to accommodate the needs of working professionals.
