Chicago School enrollment surpassed the 2,000 mark this fall as the Los Angeles Campus welcomed its first cohort of students, online enrollment surged, and many Chicago Campus programs saw steady increases. 

The West Coast campus achieved its first-year goal with 118 incoming students in four degree programs. Students enrolled at the newly affiliated California Graduate Institute campuses in Irvine and Westwood, Calif., will become part of the official Chicago School census beginning in spring 2009.

To accommodate enrollment growth in Chicago, some 11,000 square feet of new space with another 36,000 of adjacent space for continued growth was acquired in the Merchandise Mart. It houses the new Utigard/ Transwestern Treatment and Observation Room, which now functions as the practice arm of the Forensic Psychology program.
