The Psychological Advantage of Ohio State

I must give a pat on the back to my favorite department at Ohio State--the Ohio State Department of Psychology.

Ohio State has ranked the doctoral program among the best of the best on campus. That means the program ranks with the likes of the prolific and renowned political science program (which at one point was the fourth best in the world).

The 12 rated as “high quality” stand out in terms of their planning, focus and potential to enhance the standing of the university, according to a university release.

The program also ranks in the top ten in number of citations of work published from 2002-2004. I was a research assistant with the program in 2004, so that's a pretty sweet deal.

Psychology was and may still be the most popular major at Ohio State, and if it continues to rake in these accolades, it could overtake engineering as the best overall major. Chemistry, however, will remain the most challenging with engineering, math, and psychology all close behind.
