I'm leaning towards a major in science or something pre-med. Does anyone have recommendations for Ohio colleges that are strong in the sciences and medicine-related fields?
There are several excellent Ohio universities known for their strong science and medical programs. Here are top three suggestions:
1. The Ohio State University: This college is respected particularly for their College of Medicine, but their science programs are also rigorous and well-regarded. Fields like Biochemistry, Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, and Biomedical Engineering have an enriching curriculum and great opportunities for undergrads to participate in hands-on research.
2. Case Western Reserve University: Located in Cleveland, Case Western has a fantastic pre-med track and renowned science programs as well. They are especially known for their biomedical research. They've also partnered with Cleveland Clinic to create the Health Education Campus, a space dedicated to interdisciplinary learning in healthcare fields.
3. University of Cincinnati: The University of Cincinnati also has a very good reputation, especially in the health fields. It also offers a dedicated pre-medical track for undergraduates, and includes bioethics and healthcare policy subjects.
Do remember to investigate these schools further and schedule campus visits if possible. Getting a feel for the campus culture and environment will help contribute to your decision-making process.
