<p>I'm interested to going to a school with a strong biology program. Any rankings/advice?</p>
<p>Univs. with excellent bio programs*</p>

<p>Any college or LAC within the top 100 is likely to have a strong biology program. Choose your colleges based on other factors (size, location, cost, campus, etc.). You should come up with a list of colleges that meet these criteria, <em>then</em> you can evaluate their biology programs.</p>
<p>If you want to do research, the ten schools that produce the highest percentage of future PhD's in Bio Sciences are: </p>
<p>Reed<br>
CalTech
Swarthmore<br>
U Chicago<br>
Kalamazoo
MIT
Earlham
Harvey Mudd
U Sciences Philadelphia
Grinnell</p>

<p>^^What Warblersrule said. There are numerous high quality biology departments out there. Choose your school on broader considerations, i.e. will you be comfortable at XYZ campus?</p>
<p>O.K., you beat it out of me. LOL. To Vossron's recommendations I will add...</p>
<p>Worcester Polytechnic Institute (MA)
College of Wooster (OH)
Ohio University
Ohio Wesleyan University
Hood College (MD)
Michigan State University (ABSOLUTELY GREAT)
U of Wisconsin-Madison
Northwestern University (IL)
Lewis and Clark College (OR)
U of Washington
Colorado State University
North Carolina State University
Stanford University (CA)
Occiddental College (CA)
Duke University (NC)</p>
<p>To the OP; are you interested in a specialization? Ecology, Organismal, Zoology, Botany, Biotechnology, Pre-medicine?</p>
<p>So U Sciences in Philadelphia really turns out a lot of Biology PhD's? I had heard that they're really only good for their Pharmacy and Pre-Med programs.
Can anyone possibly elaborate on their bio program, as far as maybe conservation biology would go, or any non-health related biology. I was recently accepted there and I was just about to eliminate it from m potential college list because I had heard that their other majors besides pharmacy weren't top notch. So if anyone knows about USP or can give me a website, etc. that would be appreciated.</p>
