<p>As far as “best”, I don’t know - I think departments for graduate schools are ranked, but I have not heard of rankings for undergraduate majors. For instance, Stanford’s Psychology Department has been ranked #1 in the nation for graduate studies… I suppose you can, in general, apply that towards undergraduate studies as well.</p>
