About Adler University
Founded in 1952 in Chicago to advance the pioneering individual psychology framework of Austrian physician and psychoanalyst Alfred Adler, Adler University is an esteemed private graduate institution exclusively dedicated to master’s and doctoral education in psychology, mental health counseling, art therapy, public policy, and organizational leadership. Adler University operates two dynamic international urban campuses—located in downtown Chicago, Illinois and downtown Vancouver, British Columbia—alongside an innovative digital Online Campus. The university’s founding philosophy centers on "social interest" (Gemeinschaftsgefühl)—the fundamental Adlerian principle that individual health and well-being are inseparable from community health, social justice, and systemic equity. Adler is renowned for establishing Canada’s first Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program in British Columbia, for its CACREP-accredited counseling programs, and for integrating a mandatory Social Justice Practicum (SJP) across every graduate curriculum where students deliver hundreds of thousands of hours of clinical care and advocacy in underserved community settings.
