Best Answer

Are you joking... of course! There are over 800 schools in the country that offer philosophy as a major. There are now two sets of rankings of philosophy departments in the United States: Brian Leiter’s Philosophical Gourmet (PG) and Academic Analytics’ Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index (FSPI). Only two universities are listed in both rankings: Princeton and Rutgers. The rest are entirely different. FSPI ranks Michigan State first; PG ranks NYU first. Academic Analytics’ Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index 1. Michigan State University 2. CUNY Graduate School 2. Princeton University 4. University of Virginia 5. Rutgers 6. University of California – San Diego 7. Pennsylvania State University 8. The University of Texas at Austin 9. SUNY at Stony Brook 10. Rice University Brian Leiter’s Philosophical Gourmet ranking 1. New York University 2. Rutgers 3. Princeton University 3. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor 5. University of Pittsburgh 6. Stanford University 7. Harvard University 7. MIT 7. UCLA 10.

Question: How does the american university/college system work?

I want to study psychology, maybe in the US, but I am wondering how it works? Do I have to take any tests or is it enough to just show my grades? How do I apply, and how do I know which universities are the best, and what average grade I need to be admitted for their psychology course? I am Norwegian by the way:) Thanks!

Most US universities will have a page on their website, under admissions, for international students. It will list out what is required, as that can vary by university; but in general, you'll need to take the TOEFL test to prove your English fluency, and the SAT or the ACT as your entrance exam. You can take these exams in Norway. They will also want certified translated copies of your grades/transcripts. Universities in the US will very good reputations for their psychology undergraduate programs include: - University of California Berkeley - Stanford - University of California Los Angeles - University of Michigan Ann Arbor - Yale - Harvard - Princeton - Carnegie Mellon - University of Wisconsin Madison - University of Illinois Urbana Champaign - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - U Texas Austin - U Minnesota Twin Cities - Columbia University - Cornell - University of Pennsylvania - Johns Hopkins - Nortwestern - Duke - University of Chicago - Penn State U - University Park - Vanderbilt - University of Virginia Some of these are highly competitive universities, and quite difficult to get into. Others are a bit easier to gain admission to. All have top programs in this field. You can use the Princeton Review website (linked, below), to get an idea for what test scores and grades each of the schools looks for in applicants.
