Program Description
Chicago School’s Clinical Psy.D. program in Chicago has been nationally recognized for its unparalleled training in culturally
competent service provision and offers students a remarkably wide variety of professional training opportunities. The
doctorate in clinical psychology is the highest degree for practitioners in the field who wish to apply their knowledge as
practicing clinicians. Students will experience extensive clinical training with community partners, including prestigious
clinics, hospitals, mental health centers, and governmental agencies. Accredited by the American Psychological
Association, the Chicago Campus' Clinical Psychology doctoral program qualifies graduates to sit for the licensing exam in
Illinois. Graduates of the program have performed better than average on licensure exams as evidenced in recent years’
76% pass rate—ranking among the highest of the Chicago-area Clinical Psy.D. programs.
Chicago students complete foundational coursework in four intervention orientations (Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic,
Humanistic Existential, and System) and have the opportunity to tailor their coursework with specializations to meet
particular educational and professional goals.
A unique aspect of the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology program in Chicago is the Research Clerkship model, where
students are paired with core faculty to receive mentorship in research and scholarship, and obtain important support and
