National Louis University- Community Psychology Ph.D.

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this program and your thoughts on the program. I applied and interviewed and now am on the fence as to whether I will accept if offered admission. The program is not funded and there does not appear to be opportunities to be involved in research outside of your dissertation unless you seek them outside of the school/program. Thoughts?

While I am unfamiliar with the program, I would avoid an unfunded program that has such limited research opportunities. Not only will this potentially put you in financial hardship (also not familiar with your financial status), but you might end up with a degree that doesn't really lead to better job prospects. A lot of these unfunded programs seem to end up with that result. Certainly not the case for everyone and attending a funded program won't gurantee viable employment, but it seems to have better results than the alternative.
