14 Best Psychology Grad Programs In Washington, DC (2022 Updated)

I enrolled into the Data Science Certificate Program at Georgetown. It is a waste of money and your time unless you have a robust background in Python. Most students did not because this certificate program appears to help you turn into one. I have background in SQL and data analytics and was hoping to gather some skills to make me a data scientist. Although I understand that a certificate program can’t turn you into one (although the marketing and messaging of this makes it appear so with the “robust” curriculum). This was purely taught on slides and wish it was more hands on. It is very expensive and you don’t start learning till the 3rd class. The first class was an introduction on what is data science (around $900) for some powerpoint you could have read at home. Second class was to get into groups to create a data product on a process that you barely know about. I recommend General Assembly they are more hands on. Although they don’t have the prestigious name (which I think Georgetown takes advantage of to teach this way), you will learn more and actually do projects AFTER you learn the material. I thankfully dropped out and sadly was only refunded the classes I did not take although intro to data science and getting into groups does not feel like real classes..Monica Puerto

The classes and the professors are superlative. However, I concur with many comments here….THE SUPPORT STAFF SUCKS!!! You expect a lot more from the admissions office, registrar and folks that answer the phones (oh, by the way, if you call the SCS you usually receive the voice mail) when you pay 60K for a Master's degree. Georgetown is truly "resting on its laurels" and academic reputation in the customer service department. Every time I needed assistance from someone, it was as if I was asking for a favor and not paying for a service (lots of attitude and unhelpful comments). CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TRULY NOT A PRIORITY AT THIS INSTITUTION….Larry Poe

Georgetown SCS staff are unorganized, unresponsive and unprofessional. My son had a horrible experience with the administration. They do not return phone calls or emails. It may be an "elite school" but the SCS program has less than stellar staff and administration. I hope that they clean up quick, his actual program was very well and the insturctors were very qualified. But if you need a document or any type of administration assistance- you'd be better off going to another school.Rose T.J. Perna

I applied here and got in but communicating with my admissions counselor was very difficult. I asked her several times about financial aid and if I would receive any. When I DID get a hold of her she just told me that she's been very busy and to call back later. Which I did, she did not answer, and instead of answering my question she left me and my high school counselor a voice mail asking us to call her once again later. Honeslty never have seen worse student support from admissions counselor.Lucia Cova

While the food was descent, the service was so so. Once the cashier finally paid attention to us and we were able to order, she was very friendly. But prior to taking our order, she continued to talk to another employee and chat about non work stuff and ignore customers. The sweet potato fries and grasshopper shake were very good.Anthony Scott

Smack in the middle of D.C. it is the place to be if you're not a chump. It has top notch policy schools and other departments are great as well. The metro is also right there in the middle of the campus and you can get a university pass that'll make your travels free if you're a student. So don't delay, join today.ubdussamad

I absolutely love being a Forensic Psychology student here. The professors are engaging, give great feedback, and really want you to learn. The program has a focus on multiculturalism & diversity which is perfect for students looking for more experience in this area. Located one block from the Metro.Michelle Bender

Howard University is in the process of changing, improving and increasing their level of services they offer their community. GoodLove this place. Had a good experience here. Enjoyed the homecoming Saturday with my daughter. I missed my high school's homecoming but enjoyed Howard's. Sorry DCs Dunbar had to go to the Mecca.Great institution for higher learning. Homecoming 2019 was fun, except for the score of the game.This campus was really nice. The college presentation was concise and thorough. The presenter seemed knowledgeable and engaging.It seems to be a great place offering a lot of opportunities for young adults of color. Our tour guide was a young lady who is a senior at the school and she was so articulate and presented the information in a way that conveyed her knowledge of the school and also how much you really enjoyed going there. The students on the campus all seemed very happy and friendly.Pratima Sarojwal

Today I went to drop off my niece who’s continuing her second year of pre-med. the experience was amazing. I love how supportive the staff is. They have smooth transition process during moving in season. They were very well organized and had keys, moving carts, parking permits and guidance everywhere. I noticed that minorities are the majority at Howard. Diversity is embraced and everyone is welcomed and respected. I loved how they have sanitation stations everywhere fondue to Covid-19. The application process is easy and they financial aid staff is very helpful. Howard university os affordable and well known school. The dorms are spacious and private. Kitchen is well organized and the bathroom is huge. Campus was a little crowded because it was moving in day, but it was so organized that by 2pm everyone was situated and the streets were cleaned. I recommend this university.Madame Dabo

I went to the dental school to be evaluated for new dentures. The students and professors are very knowledgeable. They treat you gently and respectfully. As they evaluate and work on you, they explain everything that they are doing. I've been going there off and on since the 1980's. They have walk-in service also. Call for information of days and times. Best of all the fees are very very reasonable. And if you need financial help they try to help you obtain it. Bottom line; help the students and help yourself.Monica White-Gant

The worst university ever, my experience at this university has been draining and miserable. Some off the professor are rude and highly unprofessional. I had one professor a couple off years ago name Samuel Walters tell me that he doesn't have to respond to my emails, and if I reported him they wouldn't even listen to me. I will never forget that, it was odd to me as well because, other professors' I had encouraged students to email, and come in during office hours for assistance. I reported this to the dean, and she told me that professors' are not obligated to respond to students' emails. I couldn't believe it, in addition I wrote the president off the school who is a joke in my opinion, and he never responded. Anything, goes at this University. I blame myself, for returning to this school I was told things have changed, and it has not. Different departments loose papers, I had turn in my vaccine exemption forms August 02, 2021 and was told it was never received. When, I inquired about the documents again, the representative had told me they forgot to submit the documents to another department. But, by then I was already dropped from my courses. At this point, I said forget it, I am glad I transferred to another University that's extremely professional, the transition was great. The staff are rude as well, I remember almost getting cursed out by a lady in the student health department, because I simply asked if my health waiver was received, she was so rude. I honestly, despise this University. Returning, to this University as a readmit student was not worth it, it's beyond me because, UDC reached out to me to come back this past summer and it's still a joke. The women bathrooms, are a joke it's been like that since I started a couple off years ago. Some, off the doors don't lock, the library needs to be remodeled. I remember part off the ceilings in one bathroom was completely missing. Elevators were not working, and some parts off the building were not cleaned, the math tutoring lab couple off years ago was, leaking and ceiling was completely gone. I believe, some individuals work at this University because they can display their dispicable disposition. It really, amazes that the student center is appealing. But, if you go to other departments off the campus the conditions, are horrible or layout is outdated. I blame myself for being at this University for so long, never again.nina

The most terrible school I have ever been to. Both the main campus and the Community college are the same. A lot of slow, unprofessional, and rude staff who keep yelling at students when they are not even doing their jobs properly. I submitted a certain paper to the Financial Aid office and they told me they lost the paper after weeks that I had to pay about $1700 out of pocket. During the 2020 Pandemic, I tried to contact them as I was having difficulty to waive the Student Insurance that is provided through the school because I already had an insurance coverage; no one answered my call until it was due. And now Miss Gaskon told me that I have to pay about $1300 for the coverage I never needed. Mis Gascon was there in 2018/19 when I had the same issue; she helped me waive it then. I could not go to her office in 2020 be a of Covid restrictions. I tried to solve the issue communicating with them but nothing got better yet. I would not recommend anyone to go the UDC unless one needs a headache. I cannot deny that there are some great Professors such as Prof. Sonnie Abebaku. However, individuals are very helpful to us, it’s overall experience at the university that makes a difference in our academic lives. So far, my overall experience is just TERRIBLE!Henok D

I agree that administrative work is little slow but when it comes to education and professors, I would say they are really great, knowledgeable, kind and caring. They always try to help you to learn and never let you down. They always support brilliant students in the class and on the other hand they never abandon weak students too. Some people complain that school building architecture is ugly but just keep in mind the UDC construction completion dated back to 1851. So, I don't let this to impair my judgement about very good professors and education in here.Mani Shehni Karam Zadeh

I have very talented colleagues and friends who graduated from Georgetown University, so I always wanted to visit this school. The campus is very beautiful, especially with the fall foliage. It’s a nice half-day trip to visit the university, the shopping area (mainly on M Street), the canal and the waterfront park. The football field is a bit small, but overall, it’s a beautiful campus!Da-Wang Wu

I love seeing this campus from the walking across the key bridge but this time I decided to visit the local university near me. It was very classic and historical campus. Nice grounds and great castle like halls. Love going to TedEx talks at this university as well. Great campus and good university. Come explore the campus if you are in the Georgetown area!Brian Copes

I do not come to school here but it's a must place to visit and see in person!!! The buildings are so beautiful and massive. It's breathtaking. The surrending place to grab food is amazing and you can bring it back and either sit in the rocking chairs or picnic tables they have or bring a blanket and lay under a tree and relax!! It's so nice!!lilian gonzalez

Stayed here in the summer of 2005 for my internship in Washington DC and the experience was absolutely fabulous with the dining halls and the gym being my favorites. No complaints at all and excellent customer service from the residence hall staff. I sometimes wish I studied Accounting at this university than at the one I studied at. Great school and great residence halls. Highly recommend! A+Praveen Sriram

It's an average college, no particular major that's really standout around the country or the world. Courses are not that challenged compare to some other higher ranking schools and that probably explains why graduates don't get the best careers, you get what you work for. One thing should be mentioned is that dorms have a lot of rats.cat wu

My friend is away at a summer camp and given the precarious infrastructure of your so called "university" has no wifi. He is unable to communicate with friends and family. This is outrageous, its unfair. Please fix this ASAP.Santiago Tovar

Great campus and even better institution for the deaf/hard of hearing. I visited the campus after taking a class in ASL because I was just very interested and wanted to explore the famous university itself! They use American Sign Language as their first language. Gallaudet University is truly a safe and open space for the deaf/hard of hearing. It's also located in a great spot and many people living in DC actually know how to sign!Maria

At the warml sunny,, I have been visited around the beautiful Campus of Gallaudet University from 1:30 pm to 4:35 pm yesterday. That's my beloved mother school because I came to study the college education in Washington DC (the main Capital of nation) in September 7th from Shanghai, China. Also, the visiting once since two years ago. Therefore, I still love my mother's Gallaudet University!Hongyou Xu

My visits to the University was to support my cousin from Metairie Louisiana whose plays football and track for them. Galladuet University community is great, l love seeing them participate in all sporting activities as any other universities/college. It's a great school for the deaf and hard of hearing. I'm happy he selected to attend Galladuet University.Patricia Hamilton-Ross

This use to be the original trolly station when Washington DC has a trolly. As a kid I got to ride on the last DC trolly. It is a spectacular architecture to see.Martin Brossman

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful area that we must go to know (Original) Es un área bonita que debemos de ir a conocerLuis Camero

Beautiful, historic campus in the heart of DC. This place has such a rich heritage and so much meaning for the people who go there, the faculty, and the prestigious alumni. I saw the passion and academic prowess the faculty members exhibited. I heard of the enormous opportunities that students get. Truly, it seems Howard is the place to be for aspiring young minds!Amanda Broome

Dr. Dana performed required private school testing on my 5 year old. She made him feel comfortable and welcomed. She was professional and diligent. We had the test results expedited and she went to great lengths to complete the evaluation quickly and thoroughly. I couldn't recommend her more. My son had such a positive experience which has subsequently made him even more excited about kindergarten.nikki manoussos

Wsp, their initials, is a fine training institution for interpersonal/psychodynamic therapy, more than 80 years old. They also have a low-fee clinic for those seeking therapy.Theodore Richards
