Finding the Best Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology Doctor's Degree School for You

In 2020-2021, 2,064 degrees and certificates were awarded to biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology students who went to a California college or university. This makes it the #54 most popular major in the state.

There are so many programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Biochemistry & Biophysics Doctor's Degree Schools in California to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 8 schools in California to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for biochemistry students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
