The biophysics program you select can have a big impact on your future. That's why we developed our collection of Best Schools for Biophysics rankings. We derive our Best Overall Biophysics School rankings by rolling up our degree-level rankings after weighting them by the number of degrees awarded at each school.
You may want to choose one of the degree levels below to find the schools of most interest to you.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Biophysics Schools in the Far Western US Region list, to help you choose the best school for you. If you'd like to restrict your choices to just one part of the country, you can filter this list by location.
In addition to our rankings, you can take two colleges and compare them based on the criteria that matters most to you in our unique tool, College Combat. Test it out when you get a chance! You may also want to bookmark the link and share it with others who are trying to make the college decision.
If you want to learn more about how we derive our rankings, see College Factual's Methodology.
Although we recommend filtering by degree level first, you can view the list below to see which schools give the educational experience for the biophysics degree levels they offer.
