The data-driven assessment by Intelligent.com relied on credible sources, including the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard, U.S. News & World Report, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to ensure the recognized programs met high standards of academic excellence and positive student outcomes.

“It is a tremendous honor for our programs, grounded in the enduring principles of Adlerian Psychology, to be recognized,” shared Lisa Coleman, Ph.D., president of Adler University. “This acknowledgment reaffirms our role as a leader in the field of psychology and our commitment to the values of community and social interest — principles that are foregrounded through the education of our students and continue to shape our academic mission.
