Your question about the best colleges and universities with strong undergraduate psychology programs is not an easy one. The American Psychological Association does not accredit or rank undergraduate programs. Accreditation applies only to doctoral programs in professional psychology. </p>
<p>However, there are some important factors to consider in choosing an undergraduate program. As you conduct your research about undergraduate psychology programs, probably the first question to ask is whether you would be comfortable in the program. There is no substitute for visiting a department while students are there, talking with them, and seeing what opportunities are available. The size or reputation of a department is not necessarily the best indicator of its quality. </p>
<p>If you are ultimately interested in attending graduate school, you should know that, in addition to good grades in your undergraduate classes, a very influential factor in admission to graduate programs is research experience. It will be useful to see what kinds of research opportunities are available, as well as opportunities to present the results of research at psychology conferences. Research builds skills, and allows the faculty to get to know students; subsequent letters of recommendation are thus stronger and more personalized. You can get a good deal of information about the nature of psychology programs and their commitments to undergraduates by going to the Web sites of undergraduate psychology departments. </p>
<p>So the general answer about finding strong undergraduate programs is that you should find an institution in which you feel comfortable and where students have access to faculty and opportunities for research.
