Best Biotechnology Doctor’s Degree Colleges in the United States

Unfortunately, there were no schools in the United States that made our Best Biotechnology Doctor's Degree Schools list. You may want to check out our national ranking in the field instead.

Choosing a Great Biotechnology School for Your Doctor's Degree

The biotech doctor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality biotech program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

The overall quality of a doctor's degree school is important to ensure a good education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Doctor'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 Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their doctor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. That is, everyone wants their doctor's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to biotechnology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of biotechnology students who choose to seek a doctor's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Student Debt - How much debt biotechnology students go into to obtain their doctor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized biotechnology related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for biotechnology students working on their doctor's degree.

Insufficient Data for the United States

On account of absent data, we were not able to provide you with the biotechnology quality ranking. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer biotechnology and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient analysis.
