What Surprised Us Most
-
Graduate earnings span a wide band on this list, from $43,283 at the low end to $99,980 at the top. That 2.3× spread shows how much outcomes vary within a single category.
-
Indiana University-Northwest offers the strongest payback. Graduates earn a median of $43,361 against $5,130 in annual net price, the best earnings-to-cost ratio in this ranking.
-
The most budget-friendly option on this list is Indiana University-Northwest, at $5,130 annually in net price.
-
Completion rates separate this field: University of Notre Dame graduates 96% of its students, well above the 61% list average. Finishing what you start matters as much as where you start.
-
Debt-to-earnings ratios favor University of Notre Dame: graduates owe only 0.19× their yearly income, the most manageable debt burden on the list.
Surprising Comparisons
- Price and payoff diverge sharply here. Indiana University-Northwest ($5,130/yr) and Butler University ($36,041/yr) produce graduates earning $43,361 and $77,235 respectively, a far narrower earnings gap than the $30,911 cost difference would suggest.
- On a cost-adjusted basis, Indiana University-Northwest outperforms University of Notre Dame: similar career earnings at a much lower net price.
- Completion is where this ranking's schools diverge most: University of Notre Dame graduates 96% of its students versus 34% at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Access without completion is opportunity unclaimed.
The Takeaway
A consistent pattern: the schools that finish at the top get there by delivering strong earnings, manageable debt, and real mobility rather than by charging more or rejecting more applicants. Those outcomes are what define educational value.
What This Means for Students
For students evaluating these schools, begin with Indiana University-Northwest and University of Notre Dame. Look past sticker price: pull each school's net price for your income level, compare it against projected earnings, and let the data guide the decision instead of the brand.
Why this ranking matters
These schools are ranked on outcomes that compound: graduate earnings, upward mobility, debt, and value, all drawn from federal tax records and Scorecard data rather than reputation surveys. The list rewards results over prestige, led by institutions whose graduates earn a median of about $54K ten years after enrollment.

Methodology
Schools are scored on the CollegeRanker 4-Pillar Algorithm: Economic Outcomes (30%), Social Mobility (25–35%), Academic Quality (15–20%), and Value (20–25%). Every weight is published and every figure traces to a public dataset.
See the full methodology and weights →Confidence notes
- Earnings, completion, and debt figures come from federal administrative records — tax data and student-aid filings — not surveys or self-reports, the highest-confidence tier of education data available.
- Social-mobility estimates are drawn from de-identified tax records covering more than 30 million students (Opportunity Insights).
- Where an institution is missing a metric, it is excluded from that metric rather than imputed, so averages are never inflated by guesses.
Limitations
- Federal earnings data primarily cover students who received federal financial aid; outcomes for non-aided students may differ.
- Earnings are measured roughly ten years after enrollment, so they describe how earlier cohorts fared — historical outcomes, not guarantees of future results.
- An institution's field-of-study mix affects raw earnings; scores reflect measured outcomes and are not fully major-adjusted unless explicitly noted.
- Net price is an average; the actual cost a given student pays varies widely by family income.

Cut it by what you care about
The same 32 schools, re-ranked by the outcome that matters to you.
Where the programs are
Choosing a college for biology can feel overwhelming, especially in a state like Indiana where there are numerous options. These schools not only offer solid biology programs but also demonstrate strong outcomes for their graduates, making them worth considering as you weigh your options. With average earnings of $57,790 among top biology schools in Indiana, these institutions can set students on a promising career path.
What sets the strongest schools apart is their performance in key areas that matter for biology students: earnings potential, graduation rates, student debt, and overall program quality. The list below reflects these outcomes, helping families see which schools support their students not just academically but financially as well. Pay close attention to how schools balance net price with expected earnings and graduation rates.
For instance, the University of Notre Dame stands out with impressive earnings of $99,980 and a graduation rate of 96%. In contrast, Earlham College has lower earnings of $50,797 and a graduation rate of 68%. This difference highlights the potential trade-offs between choosing a prestigious program and a more affordable option. Keep these factors in mind as you explore the options further.
The story behind the ranking
A ranking gives you an order; these charts give you the shape. They show how this group of schools spreads across the four things that decide whether a degree pays off — what graduates earn, whether they finish, how far they move up, and what it costs. Look for the standouts, the outliers, and the trade-offs the list alone can't show.

What the Mobility Data Says
The backbone of this ranking is social-mobility data from Raj Chetty's Mobility Report Card, which draws on more than 30 million tax records. A school's mobility rate is the share of its students who move from the bottom income quintile to the top. Among the 16 schools on this list with available data, that rate averages 1%. Trine University leads the group at 2%, with Wabash College (1.7%) and Indiana Institute of Technology (1.3%) close behind.
Who gets in matters as much as what happens after. Across these schools, an average of 4.6% of students start in the bottom income quintile. Oakland City University leads at 12.4%, which signals an admissions door that is actually open to low-income students. Schools that pair high access with high mobility are the ones driving generational change.
Once low-income students enroll, their odds of reaching the top income quintile average 27.1% across this list. University of Notre Dame posts the highest success rate at 62.4%. Access without completion and career momentum is an incomplete picture, and this is the number that completes it.
Social capital, measured by economic connectedness, captures the degree of cross-class friendship on campus, another dimension Opportunity Insights ties to long-run outcomes. Across these schools it averages 1.59 against a national benchmark of 1.0. Butler University reaches 1.76, the highest on the list.

Median Debt at Graduation
When comparing schools, one notable pattern emerges: the University of Notre Dame significantly outperforms Earlham College in key metrics. With an impressive graduation rate of 96% and earnings of $99,980, Notre Dame shows that a prestigious program can lead to better outcomes. In contrast, while Earlham College offers a unique campus experience, it has a graduation rate of just 68% and earnings of $50,797—pointing to important trade-offs in your decision-making process.
As you sift through these schools, consider how each institution aligns with your priorities. Think about factors like location, campus culture, and financial aid options. A school with a higher net price might lead to better job opportunities, but it’s crucial to assess whether the investment aligns with your career aspirations and financial situation. Create a list of your top priorities and weigh the data against them.
Ultimately, the decision you make can impact your journey from college to a stable career. With the right biology program, students can find pathways leading to fulfilling careers in healthcare, research, and more. Weigh these outcomes carefully, as one choice could set the tone for your future financial stability and professional satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Best Biology Colleges in Indiana: Your Questions, Answered
What is the #1 school in the Best Biology Colleges in Indiana ranking? +
University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, IN ranks #1 in our 2026 Best Biology Colleges in Indiana ranking. It earns the top spot on the strength of a median $99,980 in graduate earnings ten years after enrollment and a 96% graduation rate. Our score is built entirely from federal data on graduation rates, graduate earnings, debt, and social mobility. Reputation surveys play no part.
Which school has the highest graduate earnings? +
University of Notre Dame posts the highest median earnings on this list: $99,980 ten years after enrollment, well above the $56,221 average across the 32 ranked schools with earnings data. Earnings that outpace cost are what separate a degree that pays off from one that does not.
Which school offers the best value? +
On a pure return-on-cost basis, Indiana University-Northwest leads: graduates earn a median $43,361 against net price of about $5,130 a year, the strongest earnings-to-cost ratio in the ranking. Applicants should weigh that payback against sticker price rather than prestige.
Which school has the highest graduation rate? +
University of Notre Dame has the highest graduation rate in this ranking at 96%, compared with a 61% average across the list. Completion matters because the students who finish are the ones who actually capture the earnings and mobility gains a degree promises.
How much does it cost to attend these schools? +
The average net price, meaning what students actually pay after grants and scholarships, is about $19,738 a year across the 32 ranked schools with cost data. Indiana University-Northwest is among the most affordable at roughly $5,130. Net price is a far better guide to affordability than the published sticker price.
How is the Best Biology Colleges in Indiana ranking calculated? +
We score every school on a four-pillar algorithm: economic outcomes (graduate earnings and debt), social mobility (Raj Chetty's Mobility Report Card, built on more than 30 million anonymized tax records), academic quality (graduation and retention), and value (net price and loan burden). Social mobility carries the heaviest weight, so schools that lift low-income students into higher earnings rank above those that simply admit wealthy students. Every input comes from federal data, and schools that withhold their numbers are scored lower for it.
How many schools are ranked and where does the data come from? +
This ranking evaluates 32 institutions using the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, the Opportunity Insights Mobility Report Card and Social Capital Atlas, Times Higher Education, and NCES IPEDS. There are no opinion surveys or paid placements. The order is determined by the data alone and refreshed as new federal figures are released.
