<p>I've just been accepted to several schools and I am proposing my major as Neuroscience. I was wondering if anyone out there can help me rank the schools in order of the Neuroscience departments: I've been accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill honors, New York University, Vanderbilt, and I am pretty sure I will be accepted to UCLA so lets put that on the ranking. Thank you in advance!</p>
<p>There are no undergrad rankings that I know of, though I might be wrong. I do believe the grad programs are ranked, but that’s not necessarily the same thing, and won’t include any programs without grad degrees, i.e. all the LAC programs.</p>
<p>There is no reliable ranking of specific undergraduate arts & science programs.
For research universities, about the best you can do is consult the NRC/Chronicle ranking of graduate neuroscience/neurobiology programs. Then you’d have to decide which of the 10 individual rankings matter to you. It appears that if you take the averages, these 4 schools are all pretty close:</p>
<p>29 UCLA
31 UNC
39 NYU and Vanderbilt</p>
<p>Since they all seem to have rather strong departments in this area, it would make sense to choose based on cost or personal fit. You also can browse the course descriptions and major requirements to decide which program seems to suit your personal interests best. Many undergrads change majors, though.</p>
