Clinical Psychology Student

Overall great school and great program! Staff is very knowledgeable, pretty diverse and very welcoming! While it is not a traditional college with a huge campus, sports events, etc., they do offer a variety of clubs to make it feel like an actual college campus.

Supportive training for psychologists

Great place! It's a good and well respected program to get your PsyD. The faculty are supportive and knowledgeable. There are some issues with the higher ups in terms of listening to students concerns, but overall it's a great institution

Prepared for a career in psychology

Tuition is high, as a for-profit school, but the quality of education is high. I feel prepared to move forward in my career as a soon-to-be-graduating student. My practicum training experiences have been largely excellent at the sites TCSPP affiliates with for student development.
