What are some good Universities in California that offer Clinical Psychology as a major?

Question

I am looking into majoring in clinical psychology and don't really know any good universities in Ca that offer it as a major. I am not rich so don't suggest Stanford or any other expensive colleges. My SAT score is average and average GPA is 3.33. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

UC Santa Barbara....with a 3.33 you probably will have a hard time with any other UC school except Riverside (ewww).  San Diego State University is a good one too.

Answer 2

Stanford will not charge tuition for students whose parents earn less than 100,000 dollars, starting around 2009. So Stanford is a possibility.

As for clinical, I don't think this is offered in the Bachelor level. I believe you have to go to grad school and earn a PhD or a PsyD degree. So go to any college with a possible goal of getting into Stanford's grad school later on.

Answer 3

There is no clinical Bachelor's degree. Just look for universities with good undergraduate psychology departments. Berkeley or UCLA are well-known (even though I don't live in California). I would also recommend small liberal arts programs, where you can get more research experience with faculty members that will help you get into a clinical graduate program.
