Xiaojie Johan’s Answer

Hello Owen,

Thanks for asking! The answer to your question is it depends on what you want out of it. If you want to do a PhD, you might have to go to the best undergraduate institution possible and then apply to the best graduate program you can get into. If you just want to be a school psychologist, I would recommend cost-effective choices in that matter. There are a lot of good schools out there for that, with some of them not being the highest overall ranked schools. Sometimes the best fit for a field for you is not sometimes the best ranked school!

Best of luck!

Thanks,

Johan

Mahi’s Answer

Determining the "best" school for studying psychology depends on various factors such as your specific interests, career goals, location preferences, and other personal considerations. Several universities are renowned for their strong psychology programs, and the ranking may change over time. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, some top institutions with reputable psychology departments include:

Harvard University
Stanford University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
University of California, Berkeley
University of Cambridge (UK)
University of Oxford (UK)
Yale University
Princeton University
University of Chicago
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
However, it's important to note that many other universities worldwide offer excellent psychology programs. When choosing a school, consider factors like faculty expertise, research opportunities, available resources, and the overall campus environment. Additionally, look at recent program reviews and rankings to ensure that the information is up-to-date.

Make sure to check the specific programs, concentrations, and research opportunities offered by each institution to find the one that aligns best with your academic and career goals.
Thank you comment icon These are both excellent advice! It would also help if you wanted to be in research, academia. Or in a clinic or hospital setting. Theresa Stanfel Hull

Cherelle’s Answer

Hey Owen!

The best school to study and learn about psychology (in the United States) is Stanford University, ranked number 1 out of them all!

Stanford is an elite private university located in Stanford, California (in the San Francisco Bay Area) and admissions is EXTREMELY competitive as the Stanford acceptance rate is only 4%!

Another cool fact about Stanford is that the university’s alumni go on to earn a starting salary of $70,400!

Hope this helps and best of luck!
