3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best (for clinical, at least), November 6, 2007

This review is from: Graduate Study in Psychology 2008 (Paperback)

When I first applied to graduate school, I bought both this book and the Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. To my dismay, this book didn't have any information that the Insider's Guide didn't have--plus, the Insider's Guide gave me a much better picture of what the faculty were working on than this book did. For other branches of psychology, this might be worthwhile; but for clinical-bound people, I'd recommend relying on the Insider's Guide and the programs' websites. Good luck applying!

This review is from: Graduate Study in Psychology (Paperback)

This book was VERY helpful. It had every piece of information you could possibly want about every graduaute program in the US--both master's and PhD programs. It really helped me to narrow down which schools were realistic financially as well as which schools had good programs for my specific interets. I've sent out all my applications, and now I'm just waiting to hear back!

This review is from: Graduate Study in Psychology 2008 (Paperback)

This book is full of helpful information on graduate programs in Psychology. Using the index in the back of the book, you can easily find a list of all schools providing a program in your field of interest. This index also differentiates by degree awarded allowing the user to find the PhD, MA, MS, EdS,PsyD, etc. that they need without searching through every program in the field.

Each school in the book has information on what programs are offered, which are APA accredited, tuition, admission requirements, opportunities for teaching and research assistance-ships and tuition remission (as well as percentage of students receiving them), student demographics, housing and post graduate employment.

Despite all of this useful information, there is no listing of Faculty interests/areas of study.

The book is a great starting place, but to find the right school further research would need to be done through other sources, such as program websites and faculty.
