Chicago

The Chicago campus occupies four floors of an office building overlooking the scenic Chicago River. Located at 65 E. Wacker Place, in the heart of downtown Chicago, the campus is easily accessible by public transportation. It is also within walking distance of museums, the Theater District, the Magnificent Mile, and Navy Pier, offering a unique qualify of life. Students can also find convenient transportation to clinical training sites in the city and suburbs.

 

The Chicago facility includes classrooms, administrative and faculty offices, assessment and observation laboratories, a computer lab, book store, the Sol and Elaine Mosak Library, and the Rudolf and Sadie "Tee" Dreikurs Psychological Services Center (DPSC).

In addition to all the amenities and attractions Chicago has to offer, there are other benefits to students attending a school of psychology in a major metropolitan area. The first is the diversity provided by the residents of the area. Students can experience this diversity not only in their personal lives, but in the large range of practicum sites in which students serve clients. The diversity of Chicago area residents embraces ethnicity, race, class, religion, and sexual orientation and thus offers a richness not found in other settings.

The metropolitan area also provides students with other opportunities that will prove valuable to their personal development and learning experiences. These include world-class universities, teaching hospitals, cultural institutions and museums. Chicago plays host to a large number of professional conferences every year that attract experts and well-known researchers from a wide range of disciplines. Due to its location in the downtown area, the Adler School's campus is near civic, state and federal government offices and headquarters. As a result, greater access to legislators, policy makers and other public officials is afforded for presentations by students and faculty.

Finally, the opportunity to experience the rewards and challenges of a major metropolitan area provides students with insights into many of the issues that confront future client populations. These include poverty, violence, domestic abuse, loss of employment and health issues associated with urban life.
