Top colleges in human biology

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?

Thanks! I hope I can get into Stanford...would be amazing if I do. I'll look into Cornell.

I'm also wondering about rankings of Physiology programs. How is the one at University of Arizona?

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.
