Okay, so I was trying to figure out the whole academic calendar thing for the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. It’s a bit of a maze, but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. Let me walk you through what I did.
First off, I started by just trying to find the official academic calendar on their website. I figured it would be a good starting point, right? They seem to have different calendars for different campuses and whether you’re doing online courses or not.
Digging Deeper into Different Campuses
- Checked out the Anaheim Campus’s Clinical Psy.D. program info. I was curious about how they structure their training. Seems like they really focus on getting you hands-on experience, which is cool.
- Then, I looked at the online campus calendar. It said “Dates subject to change,” which, you know, is pretty standard. They last updated it on August 19th, so it’s somewhat recent.
- I also found a calendar for the Dallas campus and something called “TCSPP at XULA.” That one was updated on August 24th. It’s interesting how they keep updating these things separately.
Figuring Out Semesters and Terms
I noticed they mentioned something about “semester courses” and “term-based courses.” So, I dug a bit more into that. It seems like all their programs, regardless of whether it’s psychology, counseling, or whatever, all start their courses on the same date. But the length of the summer semester can be different depending on the department.
Special Programs and Degrees
One thing that caught my eye was that they mentioned something about getting an EdS in School Psychology while doing a PsyD. Apparently, you can do that if you take certain courses and meet some requirements. That’s a pretty neat option if you’re into school psychology.
The Quarter System Thought
While I was browsing around, I also stumbled upon a discussion where some students at UChicago were talking about the quarter system. They were saying that the biggest advantage is you get to take more classes with different professors compared to a semester system. I wonder if that’s something the Chicago School does too or if they’re strictly on semesters.
Wrapping Up
So, yeah, that’s basically my little adventure through the Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s academic calendar. I mainly wanted to see how things were structured and what options they had. I still have some questions, but I feel like I have a better understanding now. It’s always a bit of a puzzle with these things, but hey, that’s part of the fun of researching, right?
