I moved the following section here because it does not really belong in an encyclopedic entry on I/O psychology. Although it may be of interest to some parties, it neither contributes nor describes here in any useful way. If this were included, we might as well copy the US News and World Report or Princeton Review entries for every program in every field of study and paste them into their respective Wikipedia articles. If you believe that this belongs in the I/O article, please post your opinion here for discussion instead moving it back. richdiesal 06:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Removed "top three programs" section because it is not appropriate for an encyclopedic article. While it is true that the three programs are influential, SIOP itself has taken no official position in ranking schools. Though rankings have been published by SIOP publications, they are always tied to a particular study, and not considered official. Furthermore, the studies have not considered international programs in the Europe and beyond. Many of which have extremely strong programs that not considered in these studies.66.27.119.28 05:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

For more information about graduate programs:
- Graduate Training Programs (Including Program Rankings) - SIOP, United States
- Top Graduate School Programs - U.S. News & Word Report Rankings, United States
- I don't feel any information on graduate programs that involves 1) program ratings, 2) dated materials, and 3) subjective assessments has any place in an encyclopedic article. Providing a link to SIOP's graduate school resources is fine, but including summary results from any of the studies included there (this one or the others) is inappropriate. -- Yakaji 12:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
