Top Florida Schools in Psychology


D-Jones' Top 3 Picks for Psychology/Public Schools in Florida

1) Florida State University
2) University of Florida
3) University of South Florida

*Special note, these are my picks, based on my observations. This does not mean that the other state schools in Florida are not reputatable or as worthy. USF and UF, are nationally ranked universities in research, while FSU offers most, if not all, psych programs.
