Our analysis ranked Johns Hopkins University the best value for a degree in human biology in Maryland.

Typical student debt for human biology graduates is $12,138. Early-career human biology graduates make about $19,916. Set against $12,138 in median debt, that is a healthy payoff. The acceptance rate is 6%.
The ranking above is published by College Factual (MF_RANKING_2025), 2026 edition.
