Re: forensic psychology

[David Wasieleski]

I received my training at University of Alabama. The other traditionally strong programs in clinical forensic psychology are Florida State and Nebraska. John Jay in NYC is also a good program. Sam Houston State has a new program still awaiting APA accreditation, but that seems like an up-and-coming one as well. There are some master's level programs specifically in forensic psychology, but my understanding is that career options are limited without the doctorate, unless the student just wants to be a psychometrician or correctional counselor. As these are all clinical programs first, they should be psychology majors, although sociology or criminal justice are decent minors.

This seems to be my day for questions I can’t answer.  I have one student interested in forensic psychology and another interested in criminal psychology.  Can you recommend any graduate programs in these areas (and also what undergraduate majors – if not plain old psychology) offer the best preparation?
