Best universities in California for a B.S. in Biology undergrad?

<p>UCSD has a Marine Biology major…I’d look into that. It’s a very strong school for life sciences. It is also home to the famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography…so there should be lots of opportunities to engage in your interests…also Sea World is in San Diego…and they have a lot of (HUGE) sea turtles…I’m sure you can get involved somehow with them as a volunteer or something. If not, there’s always the world renown San Diego Zoo…which also has turtles. </p>

<p>UCLA also has a Marine Biology Major, though it is pretty small. </p>

<p>

The focus of the MARINE BIOLOGY major is the study of marine organisms and their environment.</p>

<p>Students in the Marine Biology major are required to participate in the Marine Biology Quarter (MBQ). The MBQ provides the opportunity for undergraduates to live the life of a marine biologist. Under the guidance of department faculty and graduate assistants, the students design their own research projects, reside and collect data at a field station, conduct experiments to test their hypotheses, and present their work at the end of the quarter. Moreover, some of our undergraduates have had their research published in major peer-reviewed journals.
