Dr. Ray’s Answer

Dear Ashley,

I agree with Cleve that there are many good undergraduate psychology programs. I strongly recommend you pick a university that is accredited, which fortunately is most of them. Usually a school with a graduate program in psychology will have a good undergraduate program as well. The American Psychological Association maintains a list of accredited programs which is available on their web site www.apa.org. The University of California system has a number of campuses with excellent programs.

I wish you the best in your career pursuits.

Ray Finn, Ph.D.

Dr. Ray recommends the following next steps:

I suggest looking at the web sites of schools you are interested in, and e mailing the departments. As Cleve stated most departments are very open and willing to talk to interested students.

Cleve D.’s Answer

The majority of undergraduate psychology programs at most universities are accredited by a higher learning agency which means the core classes/learning will be the same no matter where you go to school. I would say graduate school is where you want to be very selective about the school you want to attend based on the field of psychology (clinical, I/O, school, forensic, etc.) you want to study.

Cleve D. recommends the following next steps:

I would suggest doing some research on your top 5 schools and read about their psychology schools. Once you have done that reach out to someone at the school to see about setting up a time to meet with someone from the department. Usually they are more than happy to meet with a prospective student. Good Luck!
