College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences
Overview
The College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences at Argosy University continues the traditions of a group of clinical psychologists and professors who, in 1975, formed the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. Since that time, Argosy University has offered a learning environment in which students prepare for contemporary and emerging roles in the practice of psychology and related professions.The American School of Professional Psychology is part of the College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, and together they offer several online programs for individuals who wish to apply their understanding of human behavior in the practice of helping others. Students can become a doctor of psychology or pursue a psychology master’s degree.
At Argosy University, we believe growth is defined on multiple levels, and the human side of success is a critical part of our mission.
