What are the best graduate programs in psychology?
What is best for a given student depends upon a variety of factors, including geographic location, affordability, faculty research interests, and so forth. In terms of the quality of graduate training and research, several program rankings have been published during the past ten years. In 1995, the National Research Council issued a report that ranked U.S. PhD programs in psychology, and there is a similar ranking for psychology departments in the United Kingdom. In addition, a ranking of U.S. and Canadian clinical PsyD and PhD programs was published in 1997. No such ranking exists specifically for social psychology programs, though there is a list of social psychology PhD programs that can be searched by keywords of interest.
