The Chicago School’s Forensic Psychology programs trains graduates who work directly within the arena of police and public safety, correctional-based facilities, re‑entry facilities, and with specialized populations including adult offenders, juvenile offenders, and sexual offenders.

Our Forensic Psychology programs offer a track enabling graduates to sit for licensure as a professional counselor upon graduation, allowing them to practice as counselors who provide specialized therapy for clients in forensic settings.

Courses run 16 weeks in fall and spring semesters, and 8 weeks in the summer.

Provide students substantive feedback and respond to student questions and concerns in a timely manner. Maintain communication with department administration, faculty, and students.
