Sure! Many colleges offer strong biomedical science programs, but I'll list a few notable ones for you to consider. Please keep in mind that schools below are a mix of private and public institutions with varying sizes and locations.

1. Johns Hopkins University: Renowned for its research funding, the undergraduate program in biomedical engineering (BME) at Hopkins has ranked #1 among US institutions for many years.

2. Duke University: Duke's BME program is highly interdisciplinary, and the university offers ample research opportunities. Duke's proximity to the Research Triangle Park also provides internships and partnerships with local biotech companies.

3. University of California, San Diego (UCSD): UCSD has a top-notch bioengineering program that emphasizes biomedical applications. Additionally, UCSD's location in Southern California offers numerous opportunities for internships and connections to the biotechnology industry.

4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): MIT boasts an exceptional biological engineering program focused on applications in human health, with a multidisciplinary approach that integrates life sciences, engineering, and computer science.

5. Georgia Institute of Technology: With a highly-ranked BME undergraduate program, Georgia Tech provides extensive research opportunities in areas like tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and neural engineering.

6. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn): UPenn's bioengineering program encompasses a broad range of biomedical areas, such as medical imaging, tissue engineering, and biomechanics. Penn Health-Tech, a campus-wide initiative, provides resources for bioengineering students to focus on healthcare innovation.

7. University of Michigan–Ann Arbor: The biomedical engineering program covers a wide spectrum of fields, including tissue engineering, medical imaging, and biomechanics. They also have connections to the medical school and hospital, where students can engage in research and internships.

These are just a few examples of colleges with strong biomedical science programs, but there are many other excellent schools as well. Be sure to consider factors such as location, campus culture, and financial aid options when making your final decision. Good luck!
