Academics
Master and doctoral programs are offered at both the Chicago and Vancouver campuses. In fall 2013, the Vancouver campus will begin offering a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology—the first true Psy.D. program in Canada.
The Adler School is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the American Psychological Association. The Adler School’s doctoral and master’s programs prepare students to become socially responsible practitioners. Based on a scholar/practitioner model, our mission-driven curriculum has earned national and international recognition. Adler School students, faculty, and staff engage with communities to advance social justice—reaching out to those facing the greatest barriers to mental health support.
All of the Adler School's masters and doctoral programs offered at the Vancouver campus are offered under the written consent of the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education having undergone a quality assessment process and been found to meet the criteria established by the Ministry. Note that prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
