<p>I am looking at their school for psychology, and I'm not sure it's even worth going there vs. another university. I was wondering if anyone has even heard of them or knows anything about them. I've talked to counselors and reps, and they are accredited, but still, I'm kind of still left wondering a bit about whether I should go there or not.</p>
<p>PAU (formerly PGSP) is primarily a professional school which just recently added undergraduate programs in the past year, and even their graduate program (clinical psych PhD and clinical psych PsyD consortium with Stanford) have very mixed reputations, primarily because they expect students to take on $150k+ in debt for a graduate degree in a field with an average income of $60k-70k. Anyway, you would probably be much better served by any number of public or private schools where you could get involved in undergraduate psychology research (arguably, the most important feature of psych grad school applications) which would likely be much cheaper, would be much more established for undergraduate psychology training, and may have better reputations than PAU.</p>
