So, I'm pretty stressed because I'm a junior trying to figure out this whole college application deal. One thing I know for sure, though: I'm super fascinated by criminal psychology. That being said, anyone know which are the top colleges in Ohio for this specialization?? Your suggestions are every bit appreciated!
Hey there! I understand finding the right college program can be quite challenging. It's awesome to hear that you have a clear interest in Criminal Psychology, and I'm here to help guide you through your search. In Ohio, there are a handful of schools where you could pursue your interest effectively:
1) Bowling Green State University is a notable option. Their Department of Psychology offers an undergraduate concentration in Forensic Psychology, which includes elements of criminal psychology.
2) University of Cincinnati also has a strong criminal justice program with an Australian Study Abroad element focusing on Forensic Psychology.
3) Ohio State University has well-regarded Psychology and Criminology programs, and while they do not offer an undergraduate concentration in criminal psychology, their broad course offerings could provide an excellent foundation.
Keep in mind that while many Ohio schools may not have an exact "Criminal Psychology" major, they might have strong Psychology and Criminology programs that allow you to blend your interests through a combination of classes, independent studies, internships or research. You could possibly major in Psychology with a minor or dual major in Criminology.
Always remember to reach out to the departmental advisers at these universities to get a detailed understanding of their curriculum and see how flexible they are with course choices. Good luck with your search!
