<p>Hey guys, I'm a sophomore at Florida State University and I'm looking to transfer to Universities with good psychology programs. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 (Honors College)
Major: Psychology
Out of State Residency: Connecticut
Hours: 77 (At the end of Spring 2010)
Total expenses: 20k-30k (Including housing)</p>
<p>Do you have any recommendations for schools I should look into or chances from mid-reach to match schools?</p>
<p>Check out Ohio State, NYU, Vanderbilt, and Illinois.</p>
<p>clark university in MA has a really good psychology program. they are a small liberal arts school, and is the only place in the states that Sigmund Freud lectured at.</p>
<p>There isn’t one. The entire discipline of psychology in pseudo-scientific nonsense. Major in physics or something.</p>
<p>If you’re willing to move out to the West Coast (California) you should try looking into Stanford,UCLA,Berkley,and UCSD. If not,University of Pennsylvania,University of Minnesota,University of Michigan, University of Illinois,Columbia University,and the University of Chicago all have amazing psychology programs. Try researching which school not only fits your academic needs, but which school fits your needs in terms of size and location as well. Schools give out financial aid so you may be eligible for grants or scholarships so try not to eliminate a match just for the price. Good luck!</p>
<p>transferkid21, you are an idiot. I just had to say that. Some psychological areas mainly the works of jung and Freud have been criticized for not providing empirical data in the works (Jung was criticized by his fascination for mysticism), but psychology is hardly a “pseudo-science.” It still follows the scientific method, and you can quantify it, so unless you can say why it is a “pseudo-science” plz keep your opinions to yourself</p>
<p>definitely a pseudoscience.</p>
<p>To add on, dlbecker, people generally dismiss psychology because it verges on the line of common sense. However, to believe is only common sense is to underestimate it. There is so much unknown about psychology and the mind and its connection to the body. People like transferkid21 are just too narrow-minded to realize that.</p>
<p>The power of the mind over the body is a tremendous and amazing thing.</p>
<p>wrong. to be honest, i think psychology CAN be incredibly useful, and certainly has it’s place in academia. however, the obvious inherent differences between psychology and physics (for example) relegate it as something BENEATH science.</p>
<p>First of all, there is no hierarchy in the world of academia: Psychology is not BENEATH science. Its kinda like the war between Letters and Numbers from the Phantom Tollbooth - both are equally important.</p>
<p>Secondly, I personally separate the sciences into too categories: Hard sciences (physics and Soft sciences (psychology). They both utilize scientific method and make important contributions to society. I’ll even give you that most of psychology is based on theory as opposed to fact, but that doesn’t make it any less viable.</p>
<p>Psychology and Physics have their own places in society and science. Both seek to answer questions to life’s mysteries. Why must one receive more stress and importance than the other?</p>
<p>Also, as a totally neutral comment, have you heard the new Gorillaz album? Pretty crazy stuff!</p>
<p>as to the gorillaz-- of course, its official as always.</p>
<p>but there’s definitely a hierarchy in academia, bro; in MANY regards. dont be so naive lol.</p>
