EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in New York State ranked based on their research performance in Biology. A graph of 47.7M citations received by 1.17M academic papers made by 134 universities in New York State was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
