What are some good universities that offer funded psych PhDs, emphasis on neuropsych?

Graduate School

<p>Could anyone suggest some good schools (preferably following the scientist-practitioner model) in the US or Germany that offer funded PhDs in clinical psych/neuropsych for me to look into? (I'm not applying until next year, but I really want to look into a lot of schools before I narrow down my list for applications. I don't want to miss anything in the process.)</p>

<p>Specifically, I'm looking for:</p>

<pre><code>-fully-funded PhD programs (type of funding offered doesn't necessarily matter--assistantship, fellowship, etc.)
-programs that offer neuro tracks/minors, or have good neuro faculty to conduct research with
-well-known programs that carry a bit of prestige
-programs that offer a great deal of research and assessment experience (I'm most interested in research, I really don't want to be a "therapist," I definitely wouldn't ever want my own private practice, but I could definitely see myself working as a clinical psychologist in an outpatient setting, similar to the place I'm interning at now.)
-universities that offer graduate student dorms/housing (I'll likely be going out-of-state and I would prefer to live as close to campus as possible. Grad dorms/housing would be a huge plus.)
-optional, but I would love to attend a good university located in a major city/urban area. I'm from a big city and I really don't want to be out in the middle of nowhere for 6-8 years of my life. Haha

<p>I know research interest is probably the single most important factor in admissions, so I don't expect any of you to "match" me to specific programs per se, I'm moreso asking for recommendations of well-known programs to point my grad school search in the right direction.</p>

<p>Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read my post!!</p>

<p>There are a lot of these. I know from reading your other thread that you are interested in neuropsychology (and specifically the assessment of neuropsychological disorders), but you should know if you are posting this elsewhere that “neuro” typically refers to neuroscience.</p>

<p>Check out APA Division 40’s list of clinical neuropsychology training programs ([here](<a href=“Society for Clinical Neuropsychology – Division 40 of the American Psychological Association”>Society for Clinical Neuropsychology – Division 40 of the American Psychological Association)</a>). Several of them are urban, like Fordham, SDSU/UCSD’s program, the University of Montreal’s (in Canada), USF, Wayne State, Wash U, Utah, University of Houston, Suffolk, Temple, UCincinnati, Northwestern, Pacific University, University of Victoria (in Canada) Drexel, and Yeshiva. Also, I wouldn’t rule out some of the small college towns. College towns often have a whole lot going on because the entire town revolves around the college, but they are also super cheap to live in - which is great if you are on doctoral funding. Athens, GA (where the University of Georgia is) is also only about one hour from Atlanta and is a cool college town in its own right.</p>

<p>You should know, though, that you don’t have to live in grad housing to be close to the university - especially in urban areas. I attend graduate school in New York and although I live in grad housing now, I didn’t before, and I was actually in a building that was sandwiched between two grad housing buildings that was four blocks from campus. Most universities that do have grad housing have very limited amounts of it.</p>
