Hey all, I've got a unique combo of interests - I want to study business and psychology. I'm finding it a little tough to pinpoint colleges that offer strong programs in both. Can anyone suggest colleges in the US which have top-rated programs in both business and psychology?
There are several universities in the US that have reputable programs in both Business and Psychology.
1. Stanford University: Known for having one of the best business schools in the country, Stanford also has an equally commendable psychology program. Their Department of Psychology is highly recognized, and their business program is known for its research and innovation.
2. University of Pennsylvania: The Business program at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is world-class, and their Department of Psychology ranks among the top in the nation. They offer a unique program called "The Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business" which allows students to combine business with other interests.
3. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor: The Ross School of Business and the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan are both highly reputable. They offer several opportunities for internships and experiential learning.
4. New York University: NYU's Stern School of Business and Department of Psychology provide intensive, top-rated programs. As a bonus, the location in New York City provides students with ample internship and networking possibilities.
5. UCLA: The Business program at UCLA covers a wide spectrum of business disciplines, and the Psychology department – within the College of Letters and Sciences – is highly sought after.
6. Northwestern University: Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management has one of the top-rated business programs, and the Department of Psychology is known for its research contributions, both in fundamental areas of psychology and in applied/translational research.
These are only a few among many possible options. I’d recommend checking out the specific course structure, faculty, research opportunities, and real-world experiences provided by each program before making a decision. Good luck!
