Question: What is the best major to pursue if I want to become a Health Psychologist?

If "Health Psychology" is not available, is regular psychology okay? What are some well known colleges that prepare one for this type of career? Lastly, what does a Health Psychologist actually do and where do they typically work?

Health psychology is concerned with understanding how biology, behavior, and social context influence health and illness. Health psychologists work alongside other medical professionals in clinical settings, work on behavior change in public health promotion, teach at universities, and conduct research. Although its early beginnings can be traced to the kindred field of clinical psychology, four different divisions within health psychology and one allied field have developed over time: clinical health psychology, occupational health psychology (an allied field), public health psychology, community health psychology, and critical health psychology.

I did a College Board search for you based on your stats and came up with this list of Midwestern colleges, all of which accept half or more of their students with stats like yours. Please keep in mind that this means that, at some of these colleges, you'd be considered an outstanding applicant (so they're safety schools), while at others, like Indiana University or the University of Wisconsin-Madison, you'd be considered acceptable but not a priority (so they're reach schools). The vast majority, however, are "match" schools for you. You can visit the college profiles at CollegeBoard.com to see exactly where you match up for them. Of course, please remember that some state universities expect higher GPAs from out-of-state applicants, and don't forget all of the other factors involved. :) But hopefully, if your whole application will be as strong as you expect, all of these would be within reach.

Question: What is a good American university that offers courses in Paramedics or something relating to it?

The school must have a NCAA approved swim team. I am a Canadian swimmer and I am in my last year of high school. I am not looking for a course that will get me a job in paramedics, I only want a course that is somewhat related to the field. This is because I intend to go to school after university to become a paramedic.

Best Answer

Almost all EMT/paramedic programs in the United States are offered by community colleges or hospitals, not universities. This is because you do not need a degree to become an EMT -- you just need certification training. Based on your search criteria, I've done a search for you and come up with the following: Arkansas Tech University - Russellville, AR Brigham Young University-Idaho - Rexburg, ID Dixie State College of Utah - Saint George, UT Eastern Kentucky University - Richmond, KY Fairmont State University - Fairmont, WV Idaho State University - Pocatello, ID Indiana University Bloomington - Bloomington, IN Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis - Indianapolis, IN Jefferson College of Health Sciences - Roanoke, VA Macon State College - Macon, GA Mesa State College - Grand Junction, CO Montana State University: Billings - Billings, MT Oregon Health & Science University - Portland, OR Shawnee State University - Portsmouth, OH Springfield College - Springfield, MA University of Alabama at Birmingham - Birmingham, AL University of Arkansas at Monticello - Monticello, AR University of Maryland: Baltimore County - Baltimore, MD University of New Mexico - Albuquerque, NM Weber State University - Ogden, UT Western Carolina University - Cullowhee, NC Western Kentucky University - Bowling Green, KY Youngstown State University - Youngstown, OH You'll need to further narrow those down to determine the NCAA level that you'd like. I can tell you off-hand that Indiana University is the most prestigious of the bunch. Go to http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp to do a more specialized search. Keep in mind that swim team positions will be much more competitive at some, particularly those with higher admissions standards. Good luck.
