<p>Can anyone suggest some universities/colleges that are known for their Biotech program for the undergraduates?</p>
<p>I tried US News and World Report website but did not have much luck :(</p>
<p>We are starting our college research and wanted to know how to go about it.</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Have you tried looking at the graduate rankings from USNWR?, IMO it should help give a general idea of the school's undergraduate strength.</p>
<p>Bioengineering: Biomedical/Bioengineering</a> - Engineering - Best Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report</p>
<p>Biochem:
Biochemistry</a> - Chemistry - Best Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report</p>
<p>Schools I know that have a strong biotech/biomed program: UC San Diego ( there is a Bioengineering major with an emphasis on biotech ), Duke, Johns Hopkins, Rice, Stanford, MIT</p>
<p>I second UCSD. </p>
<p>I'm also tempted to say Georgia Tech...</p>
<p>If bio research is contemplated, consider the undergrad schools that produce the highest percentages of future bio PhDs:</p>
<p>Percent of PhDs per grad
Academic field: Bio and Health Sciences
PhDs and Doctoral Degrees:
ten years (1994 to 2003) from NSF database
Number of Undergraduates:
ten years (1989 to 1998) from IPEDS database</p>
<p>Note: Does not include colleges with less than 1000 graduates over the ten year period </p>
<p>1 California Institute of Technology 5.4%
2 Reed College 4.8%
3 Swarthmore College 4.4%
4 University of Chicago 3.3%
5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 3.1%
6 University of California-San Francisco 3.1%
7 Harvard University 3.0%
8 Kalamazoo College 3.0%
9 Harvey Mudd College 2.9%
10 Earlham College 2.8%
11 Johns Hopkins University 2.7%
12 Princeton University 2.6%
13 Haverford College 2.6%
14 Mount Holyoke College 2.6%
15 Yale University 2.5%
16 Rice University 2.5%
17 Lawrence University 2.5%
18 Carleton College 2.5%
19 Stanford University 2.5%
20 Oberlin College 2.4%</p>
<p>Don't leave out BU. It seems to get a bad rap on CC in general, but its BioE/BME is first-class.</p>
<p>Thanks to all for getting me started on how to go about this. Our S in a junior at HS and is interested in the field. So we are just getting started with the process of narrowing down the colleges he should be looking into.</p>
<p>Wisconsin and UCSD are two leaders. Ga Tech is not.</p>
