What are the graduation rates for students at The Chicago School at Los Angeles?

The institution's reported 2024-25 undergraduate graduation-rate measures are 0% at four years and 0% at six years. These figures warrant attention, but they should not be read as a completion rate for every student currently studying at the Los Angeles campus.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time undergraduates who entered years earlier. They do not describe graduate students in the same way, and they can exclude transfer students - a consequential limitation at an institution that reported more transfer entrants than first-time entrants. Small cohorts can also make a percentage sensitive to the outcomes of very few people. The figures alone do not establish why students did or did not complete.

Applicants should ask for the most recent completion and retention information for their specific degree and student category, along with typical time to completion. In a clinical program, it is also useful to review published internship placement and licensure-related outcomes where applicable.

What is the earning potential for graduates at The Chicago School at Los Angeles?

For the general psychology field of study, College Scorecard data dated October 2026 reports an earnings figure of $35,500 one year after completion. It is a field- and time-specific measure, not a salary promised to every psychology student or a campus-wide earnings figure.

Such figures reflect the people included in the federal measure and may not represent every graduate, occupation, employment arrangement, or later career stage. They also do not show what someone paid for the degree. Psychology applicants should compare earnings information with the credential they actually intend to earn: an undergraduate psychology degree and a license-eligible graduate clinical program can lead to very different next steps. Program cost, borrowing, further education, and local licensing rules belong in the same financial assessment.
