Your choice of biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology for getting your master's degree school matters. This section explores some of the factors we include in our ranking and how much they vary depending on the school you select. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:
A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.
Average early-career salary of those graduating with their master's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your master's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for biochemistry, biophysics & molecular biology students working on their master's degree.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology Master's Degree Schools in the Far Western US Region ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
