NYU Vs. Columbia Vs. CUNY

[Jillybean]

Hi everyone,

I have been accepted to NYU and Columbia's terminal M.A./S. programs and was wondering if anyone knows anything about these programs...i.e. rank? are students happy? how many students continue to get their Ph.D.? Job placement? etc.

Also, any info about CUNY's I/O psych M.S. would be wonderful.

I have researched these schools on the SIOP website, but aside from student rankings of these programs, there is no addtional info....soooooooo ANY advice is very very welcome!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Jillybean!

I can't really help much with NYU or CUNY, but I visited TC this week and will most likely be pursuing a Soc/Org PhD there this fall! The campus is goregous and the faculty and students were so warm and welcoming.

If you intend to pursue a PhD at some point, I guess I would suggest that you go with TC or CUNY (programs with doctoral programs). This way you can get more involved in research (there were several masters students who were interested in getting PhDs involved in research with faculty at TC) and have a bit of a leg up. I guess you also might think about cost of tuition at the different programs? I don't think anyone really knows about ranking, which kind of makes it easier because you get to just go with fit!

Also, keep in mind TC is Social/Org, not Industrial/Org, so the emphasis is different. In terms of job placement, you can look at the Graduate Survey Reports from the last few years on TC's career services website.

Hope this helped at all! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about my visit. Good luck!
