<p>Which colleges are top in human biology? Well I guess, first, which offer it? I see that UCSD does...and that's all I really found?</p>

<p>Stanford also offers a strong program in human biology.</p>

<p>I believe Cornell offers it.</p>

<p>Thanks! I hope I can get into Stanford…would be amazing if I do. I’ll look into Cornell.</p>

<p>I’m also wondering about rankings of Physiology programs. How is the one at University of Arizona?</p>

<p>A career in bio requires an advanced degree, so here are some schools strong in that area. First posted by interesteddad.

<p>Thanks. I’m actually planning on going into medicine…though not sure what kind!</p>

<p>bump…any one have some clues?</p>

<p>Wisconsin Madison</p>

<p>Thanks man</p>

<p>hehe, agree with Barrons- I also pick my alma mater. The terminology varies between programs but every university has some sort of biology/zoology department. What may be of more significance to you though is the quality of the medical schools that the universities are affiliated with.</p>
