Ranking of U.S. Undergraduate Psychology Programs

    This page contains links to 30 U.S. undergraduate psychology programs rank-ordered in quality according to the Princeton Review's "Gourman Report of Undergraduate Programs" (10th edition).

For links to programs not on this page, you might also see the international list of Psychology Departments maintained by John Krantz.

Note to Students: The rankings below should be considered no more than a rough approximation. Many excellent programs did not make it into Gourman's top 30, and of those that did, the difference between closely ranked programs was often too small to be meaningful. For a critical perspective on the Gourman rankings, see Caveat Emptor: The Gourman Report.
