University of Arizona vs. Arizona State University for Biological Sciences

Hello Everyone!

So far I have been accepted to U of A and ASU for biological sciences. I’ve been looking at the rankings for these schools but was wondering which university has a more reputable/superior program for biology? Thank you!

Biology is a staple at all good universities. Unless you have an interest in a unique area of biology, both schools would provide the same bio education.

What is your career goal?

@mom2collegekids Well I was thinking of pursuing a career in microbiology/genetics but im also interested in one in a medical field. I have heard that U of A is the better research university but if both offer basically the same caliber of education than I suppose either one is fine.

As mom2ck said, they’re both excellent for biology. They’re also strong in biological anthropology and human biology, which you may want to take some courses in. Pick the one you like better.
