<p>Can anyone pull out the rankings for bioengineering at UCSD, UCLA, and Cal?
Thanks</p>
<p>UCSD is #2, Cal is #12 or 16. I don't think UCLA is ranked (feel free to prove me wrong).</p>
<p>However, Cal's bioE cirriculum has been revamped last semester, and the new bioE facility is <em>very</em> nice. The new cirriculum is an improvement IMO.</p>
<p>"The new cirriculum is an improvement IMO."</p>
<p>Provided that you don't choose the premedical path.</p>
<p>still true for the premed track, not necessarily for the main soon-to-be accredited track: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=222845%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=222845</a></p>
<p>s1185, when is the bioE curriculum going to get accredited?</p>
<p>The new curriculum just looks like a watered-down version of the old curriculum.</p>
<p>Berkeley was #12 in the cell biology NRC ranking...</p>
<p>NRC ranking for bioE:</p>
<p>1 MIT 4.62
2 Cal San Diego 4.45
3 Washington 4.35
4 Duke 4.33
5 Penn 4.28
6 Johns Hopkins 4.25
7 Cal San Francisco 4.19
8 Cal Berkeley 4.08
9 Utah 3.97
10 Rice 3.94</p>
<p>'Course, this is an old grad school ranking, but I don't think Berkeley's as far back as 12.</p>
<p>Weird...how did JHU drop down to 6th...</p>
<p>JHU didn't drop. This is the NRC ranking.</p>
<p>The NRC ranking predates the bioengineering department and is really irrelevant here. Heck, bioengineering probably has more to do with mechanical engineering than cell biology.</p>
<p>I have no idea when they will get accredited, but the stated intention is to have to main curriculum accredited and not the others.</p>

<p>Never mind, I got it mixed up with the US News rankings which places JHU first.</p>
