Colleges known for Neuropsychology programs?

Hi all, I'm interested in studying Neuropsychology in college. Can anyone recommend colleges that have good programs in this field?

Sure, there are a number of colleges known for their strong Neuropsychology or related programs.

1. Harvard University has a mind, brain, and behavior concentration under the Psychology department where students can focus their studies on Neuropsychology.

2. Yale University also has a robust Neuroscience major to get a comprehensive understanding of Neuropsychology.

3. The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has an exceptional Psychology program and one of its strong subfields is Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, which shares many principles with Neuropsychology. They have courses that address the neuropsychological aspects of cognition, including brain stimulation methods and neuroimaging.

4. University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) has a strong Psychobiology major. UCLA's department is renowned for its strength in comparative and physiological psychology, among other things.

Simply put, while many colleges might not have specific Neuropsychology programs, they will often offer closely related programs under fields such as Psychology, Cognitive Science, or Neuroscience. Depending on your specific interests, it may be beneficial to look into how these programs overlap and interact with each other at your prospective schools.
