Finding the Best Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology School for You

Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology is the #92 most popular major in the country with 1,964 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.

With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Grad Degree Search has developed this Best Biochemistry & Biophysics Schools ranking. Our analysis looked at 143 schools in the United States to see which programs offered the best educational experiences for students.
