<p>So far my favorites are
Villanova
Colorado College
Macalester</p>
<p>Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Reed is supposed to have great sciences, especially biological.</p>
<p>Pomona, Carleton</p>
<p>Biology often means research, which means grad school and PhD. These schools provide good undergrad bio preparation. First posted by interesteddad.</p>
<p>Percent of PhDs per grad

<p>Look into New College of Florida. <a href="http://www.ncf.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.ncf.edu/</a> NCF is a very small (less than 800 students) public liberal arts college in Sarasota.</p>
<p>About one-third of NCF's science graduates go on to receive PhD or MD degrees and about two-thirds of NCF's graduates irrespective of area of concentration continue their educations at graduate or professional schools.</p>
<p>NCF has produced 26 Fulbright Scholars since 2003 which places NCF among the top ten undergraduate Fulbright-producing institutions on a per capita basis.</p>
<p>Located on Sarasota Bay near the Gulf of Mexico, NCF offers concentrations in biology, marine biology, neurobiology, biochemistry, and environmental studies.</p>
<p>Because NCF is a state university like University of Florida and Florida State University, it is one of the most affordable LACs in the country.</p>
<p>Wesleyan and Carleton are supposed to be strong in sciences in general. Dunno about bio specifically, though.</p>
<p>Not to take away from what Senior's dad had to say about New Florida College, but those numbers sound pretty dead on for all graduates of biological science programs. Fortunately or unfortunately, ours is a field that requires a lifetime commitment to education and this is demonstrated during our vetting process (eg. college, grad school, post doc, tenure track, and finally at average age of 44- permanent professor).</p>
