<p>Which is better? Which will be more beneficial when you go out to look for a job?
BTW I'm just talking about biology in general, not pre-med or med school related stuff.</p>
<p>I have no idea, but I would venture to guess that when you get up in the bigger schools, a degree from Harvard is about the same as a degree from MIT. What matters, then, is what you think you are going to learn from MIT vs. Harvard, and what the school will give you outside of the name on the degree. I guess maybe more traditional employers (I have no idea how you would measure that) would respect Harvard, and more "cutting-edge" employers would respect MIT. But that's all conjecture and smoke.</p>
<p>I really don't know who is better, but I do know that biology is one of the bigger departments here at MIT and is supposed to be really good.</p>
<p>there both great schools with strong bio departments, but they have different focuses on what they teach</p>
<p>do you know what the focus at each school is?</p>
