NRC Ranking

The BSB Program was too new to be ranked in the 2010 National Research Council (NRC) survey, the most authoritive survey of graduate programs. However, the sister Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) program, which has many of the same faculty, was rated very highly. Only 17 out of 85 universities had programs with higher average R ratings, and only 6 universities had better rankings in the Northeast.
