I am currently a student at a two-year school and I am going to transfer to a four-year school into a Psychology program. I have a great GPA, strong subjects, ect., but I can never find "real" info on various Psychology programs and which ones are known for being really good. I am specifying my interest into Counseling Psychology if anyone might have information on programs for that! But if anyone knows some great Undergrad Psychology schools that aren't Ivy League or impossible to get into, I'd love to know! Thanks!

Some Big Ten universities would be good options for you, maybe in this order - Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana. Check your own state university options.

Hey thanks a lot, I know that the Univ. Of Michigan has one of the best and I think your right about big university's, they probably have at least a decent psychology program. And the other list is great for smaller schools which is much more my style. Thanks a lot!

Pace University, New York University and Columbia University have excellent Psychology programs from Associate Degrees to Doctorate Degrees. They are all located in New York City and are all very good schools. Look into them. Good luck!
