If you want to study psychiatry, Stanford University and Harvard University are two of the top 5 schools rated for this field.
1. Stanford University
Stanford University was founded in 1885 by Jane and Leland Stanford in the heart of Silicon Valley. Psychology was one of the first faculties born into this institution.
Psychology courses at Stanford are divided into 5 major majors: Influence Science, Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Social Psychology.
Students can take large or small portions of the course as part of their social science degree. They will study subjects including abnormal psychiatry, cultural psychiatry, and clinical psychiatry. In addition, students have the opportunity to conduct independent research for course credit.
2. Princeton University
Princeton University (group of 8 best schools in the US) is a member of the Ivy League. The school’s psychology department was founded more than a century ago.
Princeton students can study psychology as part of the Bachelor of Social Science degree program. If you want to study the psychology of language, movement, and social interaction, students will learn basic statistical methods and neuroscience.
At the undergraduate level, students can study for a PhD in Psychology or Philosophy.
The Department of Psychology is closely associated with the Center for Brain, Mind and Behavior Research (CSBMB), which studies the neural basis of psychiatry. CSBMB has facilities to study brain function, including high-field FMRI scanners for research, an EEG lab, i-tracking lab, various facilities for data analysis, and a computational model.
