In creating our blueprint for the next five years and beyond, The Chicago School envisions a future that reaches far beyond its own institutional boundaries.
Forging the Path Forward
“Integrating Professions: Forging the Path Forward,” our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, builds on the momentum gained from our previous plan and propels us forward to leverage everything we have learned during our history of more than 40 years.
We believe that psychology is inextricably woven throughout our daily lives and a critical component of the well-being of each of us. That’s why we are committed to incorporating a focus on mental health into all health care and to emphasizing interprofessional education throughout our curriculum.
I am grateful to all the individuals who contributed to this plan and look forward to the work we will do together as it becomes a reality. I am confident The Chicago School will become even stronger, refocused, and prepared for a changing world.

President, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
