I’ve been trying to find the best schools for microbiology, but all the rankings/lists I’ve found are very mixed. Any suggestions for the best microbiology in the U.S., both East and West coast?
Assuming that along with specialized courses in microbiology you would want a foundation in general biology, consider Harvard, Brandeis, Swarthmore, Haverford, Hamilton, Colby, Mt. Holyoke, Cornell, JHU, Pomona, Reed. Beyond these schools’ respective strengths in your area of interest, most have been noted by U.S. News for their ample research opportunities: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/undergrad-research-programs.
