Choosing a Great Applied Psychology School for Your Bachelor's Degree

Your choice of applied psychology for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality applied psychology program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To account for this we include a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a collection of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on applied psychology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of applied psychology students who choose to seek a bachelor's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized applied psychology related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for applied psychology students working on their bachelor's degree.
