NYU vs Columbia University Teacher's College for Psychology

[candela]

Hey all!

I was admitted into Columbia Teacher's College in Master of Arts in Psychology in Education degree

and

NYU's Master of Arts Human Development and Social Intervention program

Needless to say I am a bit torn now. If ANYONE has anything to say about these schools and programs please voice yourself now.

My opinion so far: I have looked more at Columbia's program and I like it because I have LOTS of electives I can take. This is good because I am also interested in international development and hence I could take classes at the OTHER graduate schools such as SIPA.

NYU does not allow for that kind of flexibility as it has a very stringent curriculum.

Overall it seems like Columbia would give me more flexibility in terms of my program, but if ANYONE has anything to say about these programs please do!!!

Hey! I was actually just looking at programs at both of those universities! Specifically the M.A. Personality and Psychopathology track at Teacher's and the M.A. in Specialized Social Psychology. I was wondering if you made your decision yet and what your deciding factors were? I'm very interested because I am currently a soon-to-be senior and I'm really stressing out about my decision for what is next! Advice?
