<p>top Biological Sciences (Ph.D.) schools in the nation?</p>

2

<p>For molecular/cell biology, the top schools are Harvard, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, and UCSF. Academically, all of these schools are equivalent, and a student’s choice between them would likely be made on the basis of geography or on the specific advisors available at each school.</p>

<p>For evo/eco, somebody else will have to list top schools, because all I know is molecular/cell. :)</p>

3

<p>Duke, Stanford, Cornell, Chicago, and UCD for ecology/evolution.</p>

4

<p>The UC Schools are always really good.
Duke, Stanford, Chicago, Wash U. St. Louis</p>

5

<p>where does USC rank among these schools? is USC top 10?</p>

6

<p>other schools with outstanding programs in ecology/evolution/population biology include WashU, Berkeley, U of Washington, U of Texas, U of Michigan, Oregon State (yes, Oregon State), Princeton–somebody already mentioned this, but most of the UC’s are outstanding as well.</p>

<p>USC’s graduate programs in biology are second tier at best–this is not simply my opinion but if you look at peer assesment scores, rates of publications in top journals etc…it’s simply not there.</p>

7

<p>I think you should finish your undergrad first (decent GPA, research experience, GRE) before thinking about top graduate programs.</p>

8

<p>mm… i was just wondering. Cause my cousin got in USC and she was really thrilled about it. But I found out latter tonight it was physician assistant programme, not biology Ph. D.</p>

9

<p>I’m not familiar with USC PA program but their physical therapy is tops in the nation. Their medical school isn’t too bad either.</p>

10

<p>Graduate Biology; Evoloution Ecology Organismal</p>

<p>Columbia University
Stanford University
U of Washington
Michigant State University
Colorado State University
Oregon State University
U of California San Diego</p>

11

<p>Biochemistry and most anything else bio related–Wisconsin is broad and deep with new facilities and research programs in every major phase of biosciences.</p>

12

<p>USC DPT is the best in the country rankings-wise…PA and med schools are pretty well-known as well…not so much with the Biological Sciences because I think of all of these options they are the least funded…however, the are improving (such as the Neuroscience program)…just my own opinion as an undergrad in a science field at usc going the dpt route</p>
