Anthro and Med

<p>One possibility is Haverford College. It’s one of the top 10 schools for percentage of undergraduates who go on to earn PhDs in anthropology. Sister school Bryn Mawr (where you can also take courses) is one of the other top 10. Haverford also seems to have a very strong pre-med program. This is a small, very selective Liberal Arts College, which may or may not be what you want. It’s also very expensive, although it has good need-based aid.</p>

<p>Another good small college for anthropology and pre-med is Colorado College (which is somewhat less selective than Haverford). For pre-meds, it’s one of the only LACs in the country with its own human cadaver dissection lab.

<p>Here’s a list of schools that, in somebody’s judgement, have great pre-med programs:

<p>Of the schools on this list (including the honmorable mentions), the ones that produce the highest numbers of PhDs per capita in anthropology are Grinnell, Pomona, Chicago, and Harvard. Research universities that are (a) on the “Expert’s Choice” pre-med list and (b) rank in the NRC’s top 10 (by “R-rank high”) for graduate anthropology programs are: Harvard, Chicago, Michigan, Berkeley, UPenn, NYU.</p>

<p>No doubt there are many other great schools for strong anthro + pre-med. There is no clearly best way to cull out the strongest ones that satisfy both criteria and also meet your other (unstated) needs. For one thing, strength in anthro programs varies depending on what specific sub-fields of anthro you want to emphasize (cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology of specific regions, etc.)</p>
