Hey guys, hope you're okay. So, I'm torn between studying art and psychology for my undergrad. Are there colleges that are great for both? Or maybe even a college that merges these two in a unique way?
There are many colleges out there that deliver high standards of education in both art and psychology. I’ll list a few here:
1. New York University (NYU): The Gallatin School of Individualized Study allows you to create a unique program that could combine Art and Psychology. NYU also has a reputable Psychology department and a well-ranked Art program.
2. Stanford University: Renowned for both its Art and Psychology program, they offer interdisciplinary programs which means you can readily blend Art and Psychology.
3. UCLA: Known for their strong programs in the psychology and arts, making this a solid choice if you're looking to double major or minor in one of these fields.
4. University of Michigan: They're known for their programs in both art and psychology, making it a great option.
5. Rhode Island School of Design has a partnership with Brown University, so you could study visual arts at RISD and psychology at Brown.
6. University of Southern California (USC): USC offers a strong Art program through the Roski School of Art and Design as well as a reputed Psychology program.
When you're looking at colleges, consider options that allow the flexibility of a double major or maybe even an interdisciplinary study program. Take some time to check out the course catalogs of the schools you're interested in to see if they offer interesting classes that merge art and psychology. This can be a really good way to decide whether a school is right for you.
