About This School
The Chicago School at San Diego is a private nonprofit institution located in San Diego, California with approximately 2 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $21,780 per year. Typical graduates earn $56,899 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for a very specific type of graduate-level psychology student — and that's worth emphasizing upfront, because with only 2 undergraduate students enrolled, this is not a traditional undergraduate experience in any meaningful sense. If you're a graduate student pursuing clinical psychology in the San Diego area, the median earnings of $56,899 ten years out are reasonable for the field, and the median debt of $20,000 at graduation is genuinely lower than you'd expect from a private institution, which is a real positive. That said, the near-nonexistent undergraduate population should give any family serious pause — there's no campus community, no traditional college experience, and very little peer network to speak of at the undergrad level. If you're considering this as an undergraduate option, I'd strongly encourage you to look elsewhere and return here for graduate school if clinical psychology becomes your path. For the right graduate student already committed to behavioral health careers in Southern California, it's worth a closer look — but undergrads should treat this as a pass.
