<p>I know that Mudd's engineering/math/physical sciences are top-notch but I haven't really heard that much about their Biology program and offerings. Can anyone give their input on how strong Harvey Mudd's Biology program is for someone thinking about graduate studies?</p>
<p>Thanks for your insights!</p>
<p>In my personal opinion, I do not believe that HMC has the greatest biology program. It isn't bad at all (I mean, it is very good) but I'm sure you can find a program that doesn't have so many non-biology requirements.</p>
<p>Actually, from a research point of you I would say Mudd's program is very good for biology. It would, however, just be horrible for medical school. Nowadays, with the emerging importance of biophysics and mathematical biology, a biology undergraduate education with our math/physics requirements is becoming more desirable.</p>
<p>Thanks for your guys' thoughts. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm not particularly interested in med school. I was just worried that if I ended up going to Harvey Mudd and steered toward biology that I would regret choosing Mudd.</p>
<p>It depends if you wouldnt mind taking classes like :</p>
<p>Introduction to Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
Introduction to Engineering Systems</p>
<p>Mudd will give you a broad education as well as a pretty good science one in any field you like, as long as you dont mind a cut to your GPA. Also, remember that biology is our least popular major, which has its good and bad points as you could imagine.</p>
<p>Finally, lol at typing 'research point of you' instead of 'research point of view'</p>
<p>hmc is 8 in the nation in bio, which is below their top 3 rank in the other math/sci subjects.</p>
<p>so yeah, its "weak." ^_^</p>
<p>Where did you find undergrad bio ranking of 8th in nation for Mudd?</p>
<p>i actually heard it at admitted student's day from somebody, so i guess it might be wrong.</p>
