Psych. in Ny

<p>could anyone give me an idea of which colleges are highly regarded for psychology in new york, particularly suny, but private schools also. thanks!</p>

<p>Cornell, Colgate, SUNY Geneseo come to mind...</p>

<p>NYU, Columbia, Cornell, SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Albany, Syracuse, CUNY Baruch, Siena College are a few that im kind of familiar with.</p>

<p>Columbia, Cornell, SUNY Stony Brook, NYU, U Rochester, SUNY Binghamton, Union, Vassar, Yeshiva</p>

<p>does cornell have a degree beyond a bachelors in psychology</p>

<p>Cornell offers a PhD in Psychology from Arts and Sciences and a PhD in Human Development from the NYS Human Ecology school.</p>

<p>Among these schools, which are the cheapest (other than SUNY) for a NY resident? Also, which ones give the most money out (scholarships and such)?</p>

<p>Since I've realized many out of state schools I want to transfer to are out of the question because of money (don't feel like being up to 100k in debt), so I need to figure out a strong psych school to go to that will be on the cheaper side. That also means schools like Cornell might not work out. :(</p>

<p>Also, in addition to the school being on the cheaper side, I'd like it to maybe have a strong english (creative writing) program as well. </p>

<p>I'll look into some of the schools above to find the ones I'm looking for, but any advice is welcome. :)</p>

<p>Part of Cornell is a state university, with in-state tuition for New Yorkers. I'm not sure whether psychology is part of that, but you should check it out.</p>

<p>I don't think the CAS (which I think psychology is a part of) is part of that, but I'll check to make sure.</p>

<p>I don't get why they make college so damn expensive--it's ridiculous. Even at Hofstra (which I regret going to, not that I hate it, but not worth the money) I will owe over 60k when I'm out and that's with almost half my tuition paid for through a scholarship they gave me! It's ridiculous when I see dumbasses walking around doing absolutely nothing and throwing their education away (and money).</p>

<p>Anyway, definetly not worth it for me to stay for Hofstra for academic and social reasons, and even more so not worth the 60k I'll owe afterwards. So, gotta find another school. I wish it could be any school of my choice, but money limits that. I'll just have to find an NY school that works, we'll see.</p>

<p>The 3 colleges at Cornell where tuition is less for NYS residents are Industrial Labor Relations (ILR) CALS & Human Ec. Tuition is still around $18,000/ year. It is not SUNY tuition of around $5,000. My d is in ILR so I'm familiar with the costs. If you are interested in psychology- you might find a program in Human Ec. which might mirror your intersts but it will be different than if you just majored in psychology in an arts and sciences setting. Cornell is too complicated to explain so just study the websites to see if any of the programs interest you. When my d toured the Human Ec. school, she was more confused after the tour session. There were about 7 different programs within Human Ec. Labor Relations was better suited for her so it worked out ok. U of Rochester has a good psychology and cognitive science Dept. so you may want to check that out too. They are fairly generous with merit aid. Suny Stony Brook and Bing are also pretty good in psychology. IMO- unless you went to Cornell or U. of Rochester, I think the SUNY programs would meet your needs. Good luck</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply, that's good information to know about Cornell. It definetly seems confusing, I'll have to go on the website and figure it out. Also, I'll have to see if anything in that school has something similar to social psychology. </p>

<p>And yea, have looked at Rochester, but the tuition is around 31k, so that's way expensive. However, if they really do give money, that's a plus, but it'd have to be a lot.</p>

<p>Check out the Department of Human Development in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell.</p>

<p>Cornell also has a Psychology Department, but as somebody said above, it's in one of the endowed colleges, not the statutory colleges, so the tuition would be higher.</p>

<p>My mom works at the university of rochester, so tuition would be free for me. but, I'd have to do a little better on my sat's for me to apply and think I have a chance, so it's looking like binghamton. thanks for all of the help.</p>

<p>cpassarell- free tuition at U of R- very nice. It might be worth your while to try the ACT test. Some kids really do better on it than the SAT. It really might be worth the effort. As you are from upstate- you might want to consider SUNY Stony Brook- It is supposed to be a very nice campus- Long Island Railroad is on campus (so I hear) and you can get into NYC in less than 2 hours. Kids from upstate may really enjoy going to school with a nice campus and being able to get into NYC on week-ends. It's also warmer down here in the winters. I know- I went to Suny Oswego.</p>

<p>You should definitely apply to U Rochester. Retake the SATs a couple of times. Colleges use the highest subscores you get on any of the SATs you take. Rochester is much better than any SUNY.</p>

<p>Are you looking to be in the city or in a more residential area?</p>

<p>Im looking for a different surrounding, I've been in rochester and the outlying area's for my whole life, I'd go to geneseo, but it's on the same road that I live on. So, Im looking for like a whole different enviorment. But, If I got into U of R Im pretty sure I'd go there.</p>
