Social Sciences & Psychology at other levels
By university type
Popular collections
A PhD or doctorate in Social Sciences & Psychology is the highest level in this field and suits applicants aiming for research, advanced analysis, teaching, or specialist professional work. The 45 programmes spread across 35 universities, so many choices are at the same degree level but may differ in focus and structure.
The options in this set are all public universities. That makes the main decision about location and fit rather than ownership, with choices in a mix of places rather than one single city or campus setting. Fee information is published for none of the programmes in the facts provided, so the cost decision needs direct confirmation from each university.
Before applying, verify the programme title, admission requirements, tuition, funding, duration, and whether the doctorate is a research PhD, professional doctorate, or another format. Also confirm campus location, delivery mode, and whether the programme matches your intended Social Sciences or Psychology specialism.
By our composite ranking, the top choices include Angelo State University, Antioch University, Biola University. The full ranked list above shows QS positions, tuition fees and entry requirements for each one.
Tuition varies widely by university and program, and international students usually pay more than domestic students. Every listing above shows the fee we hold for that program — labelled indicative where it has not yet been verified against the university's own published figures.
We use a transparent composite score combining QS World positions, each institution's star rating, academic breadth, internationalisation and student support — never paid placement. See our ranking methodology for the exact weights.
