Rosemead School of Psychology was founded by Dr. Clyde Narramore and Dr. Bruce Narramore in 1968. It was named after the city in which is was founded, Rosemead (CA). Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology, as it was then called, became the first independent professional school of psychology in the nation to be accredited by a regional accrediting association. In 1977, Rosemead merged with Biola, where it gained accreditation from the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1980. Biola's undergraduate programs in psychology were merged with Rosemead's graduate programs in the fall of 1981, forming the present Rosemead School of Psychology.http://www.rosemead.edu/about/distinctions.cfm
