<p>Preferably in the Midwest or East Coast, though it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>generally, you should simply go to the best college you can, overall. They all have good psych departments. Depends somewhat on your specific interest:
biopsychology
clinical
social
child
educational
sensation/perception
motivation/emotion
learning/behaviorism
and so on.</p>
<p>psychology is one of the most popular majors. all good schools will have very good departments, particularly on the undergraduate level. as collegehelp says, go the the best college/university you can get into and odds are it'll have a very good psych dept.</p>
<p>Erm, I have no idea about the specific field in psychology.
So is there any colleges recommended for me to apply for ?
As I am totally blank about which college should I go.
Thank you.</p>

<p>Gourmen ? LACs ? Rugg's recommendation ?
I am sorry but can you please explain more about this ?</p>
<p>Gourman Report is a ranking of good large universities for psychology.</p>
<p>Rogg's is an unranked list of good small liberal arts colleges (LACs) for psychology.</p>
<p>Oh, okay !
That is pretty informative for me !!
Thanks a lot !!!
But are the lists above arranged according to the places in the rank ?
etc :1. stanford
2. Yale
and so on ?</p>
<p>a little surprised that Clark University has not popped up on any of these lists.....anybody???</p>
<p>All Top Schools (T25) and Ivies will have good Psych departments. You may want to check out what kind of psychology you want to do, for example for CMU is #1 in Cognitive Psych (due to its relation with cs)</p>

<p>Same here. Also, I've heard that Muhlenberg has a strong Psychology program, as well.</p>
<p>What about clinical psychology ?
Which universities are among the best for this course ?</p>
<p>CMU is #1 in Cognitive Psych (due to its relation with cs) ?
erm, does anybody mind to explain CMU and also CS ?</p>
<p>Besides, can anybody please kindly list out T25 ?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>I heard there are categories for universities : 1st tier, 2nd tier, and also 3rd tier. Is it true ?</p>
<p>And if it is true, so what universities are in the following tier ?</p>
<p>you're not going to find clinical psychology, or any other specific subfields as an undergrad. those rankings for specific programs are all for the graduate level.
take a look at individual schools course offerings; you want to make sure they offer a breadth of classes in a variety of subfields. also see if there are opportunities to do student research, internships, off campus field work.</p>
