Is there a list or ranking system for psych departments in universities or colleges?

Question

I am going into my senior year in high school, and think I want to be a psychologist. However, I wanted to go to a school in NY, while my dad wants me to go to UVA. I've heard that the psych department and major is a bit of a joke at UVA... does anybody know an official ranking list compiled by some big think that ranks psych departments? That would really help my argument, thanks!

Answer 1

USNEWS rankings are fairly influential in many graduate programs. You can google for the most up to date listing, but as an example:
