I attended their faculty meet & greet, and didn't get questions i wanted, but did learn a lot about what programs they offer, and got a great tour of their colorful, and unique looking campus.

The reason for me not getting a chance to talk to the faculty members that run the programs of my interest, was due to it being a large group of students asking questions. The programs that had my interest were substance abuse treatment, art therapy, and sport and health psychology were pretty crowded, so i said forget it and went with the tour group. Prior to visiting Adler University i didn't these programs even existed at the University.

Other programs are clinical psychology; military psychology; child and adolescent psychology; adlerian psychology; traumatic stress psychology; primary care psychology and behavioral medicine; counselor education and supervision; clinical mental health counseling; couple and family therapy; rehabilitation counseling; forensic psychology; and public policy & administration.

The campus itself was pretty colorful, and unique with quotes on the walls. For some odd reason the campus makes me think of protons and neutrons due to the colors, and design. Hehe, it's that unique! Campus classes are small with tables in a circle for lectures. Compared to any other campus I've been on it looks very peaceful, and easy to atleast know what everyone that attends the campus looks like; maybe even their names.

Not a bad University for someone that wants to take their career in psychology to higher levels. Some advice! Do the research yourself, or make the time to go out and tour the campus yourself. The faculty meet & greet was crowded, and me personally felt more like a number that was invited to their campus. If i would've known that it was going to be that way, i would've not attended. But anyway! Enjoy, if you are considering Adler University.

I'm not entirely sure how the reviews I have written (two of them thus far) keep getting deleted from Google, but I digress. I attended the "School" for over a year and I strongly discourage (may I say "beg") any reader from attending Adler. I'm going to try to discuss objective, hard facts about the School, instead of just stating a potentially biased opinion.

1. The School's administration is notoriously uncaring of students (another review states that the school is run more like a business--and I agree with this). In my cohort, 20% (that is 1 in 5 of the students in my class) were dismissed under, what we shall call, suspicious circumstances. If you are ever in a situation which calls for interactions with them, you may as well drop out of the School right then, because they will ignore you and administratively withdraw you without hesitation.
2. You will be hard pressed to find a school which has a higher tuition (cost per credit) than Adler. The vast majority of Adler's programs are Master's programs--which, speaking from a financial perspective (and I realize this is not the most ideal way to perceive anything)--will cost you at least $50,000 to complete. By contrast to other schools, this is outrageous. Just a heads up, most Master's level therapists don't make significantly more than $50,000 a year.
3. And what does a student get with this cost? I have mentioned the administration above. Let me tell you what else to expect. The Adler School includes an "Institute on Social Exclusion", whose purpose is to provide employment and training opportunities for disadvantage populations. Now, when I was at Adler, a part time professor that was applying for a full time position was receiving rave reviews from students and colleagues alike. The school offered him the position, and everyone was happy. But, shortly thereafter, the school redacted their offer because they read his application over again and saw that he was a reformed felon. Although he stated to the program director (his immediate supervisor for that position) that he went to prison for 1 year due to a nonviolent crime, she failed to mention it to the hiring committee. When they finally got word of this, they decided that he was not worthy of the job...even though the school itself preaches about its Institute on Social Exclusion whose purpose is to provide jobs for people in this man's situation.
What else will you get with Adler? Well, certainly a questionably accredited degree. Recently, it was found that one of their program directors lied about his credentials in order to receive his position. He did not receive the training that was required for his Program Director position. I believe he had a master's degree, and lied and said that he had a doctorate. In any case, the students who were taught under him certainly did not receive the education that they deserved, paid for, expected, or needed for certification.

I implore you not to attend Adler. Look elsewhere for better training, a better school, and a better price tag. Additionally, one of the 5 star reviews on this page is by a professor at Adler...so it is probably not reliable.

EDIT: The professor has now removed their review after my initial post.

I went to this school for two semesters and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Incompetent teachers and weak challenges are what you will receive if you go here. It runs more like a business than a school!
