Best Colleges for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

One might assume that a list of Best Colleges for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology would begin or end with “university.” After all, we typically think of large universities possessing the best labs and research facilities in the world of higher education. Yet, as you see from list below, many of the top biochemistry schools are actually small liberal arts colleges such as Grinnell, Reed, Smith, and Wesleyan—schools where opportunities for hands-on research for undergraduates abound. Whether your goal is work as a scientist in the pharmacological, forensics, or genetics fields, all of these colleges and universities will provide you with the knowledge and impressive credentials to launch your career.
