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.

They bring their years of professional experience into the classroom, providing a rich?yet powerfully practical?educational experience for their students.
