Chicago School of Professional Psychology

[blueskies6]

Can anyone provide any information about the Chicago School of Professional Psychology? I'm concerned because it's difficult to find information about it beside the information they provide. Does anyone know anything about it's reputation or job prospects or anything? I'd be happy for any information I could get! Thanks so much

It depends on what you want to do. You want to open a private practice or work for someone else's practice? Sure, go for it. However, if you want to conduct research or work in academia, thats not the place for you. One of my former co-workers graduated from there with an MA (she also lectured there part-time). The people are wonderful and the courses sound really interesting, but it is a professional school, not a research school.

Also, like all other professional schools (law, medical, etc), prepare to take out plenty of loans. No stipends at professional schools.

Hope that helps.
