Rice university is the top private college in Texas. The University of Texas at Austin is the top public university. They both have great reputations in the sciences.

Hi Leah,
This is a super question and I am thrilled you are interested in Medicine!
STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) like Medicine can definitely take you places and anatomy and medicine are making innovations everyday. You can combine so many different skills and talents in this area. There are incredible strides in so many areas right now like: bio-engineering, wearable devices, medical applications (like virtual visits with doctors, apps that send cardiac information via smart phone, and implants for hearing, Parkinson's disease...). What a great time to be starting your career.
We have some great universities and colleges right here in Texas! I actually worked for a couple of colleges and universities listed below so I know first hand they are excellent.
Start in your own backyard by visiting some of our great community colleges in the DFW area.
Call to arrange a tour. Then call the science department to talk to a professor to observe an anatomy class. Be polite and don't be discouraged if it takes a couple of tries. Visit the college and walk the halls for yourself. Read the bulletin boards and gather information to see if this looks like something interesting to you.
Community colleges are super places to see if you really like a particular subject. Often the teachers/professors are professional who work in the immediate community. Community colleges are also cost effective ways to take classes for credit.
Brookhaven College: https://www.brookhavencollege.edu/cd/instruct.../cadavar.aspx and https://www.brookhavencollege.edu/cd/.../science-majors.aspx
Northlake College: https://www.northlakecollege.edu/cd/instruct.../accelerated.aspx
Northeast Texas Community College: catalog.ntcc.edu/content.php?catoid=2&navoid=714
Dallas Community College: https://www1.dcccd.edu/catalog/coursedescriptions/detail.cfm?course=BIOL...2402
You should also check out the colleges to see if a program seems like a good match for you. There are more than the ones listed below, but these are some fabulous colleges and universities:
UT Austin: catalog.utexas.edu
Texas A&M: www.bio.tamu.edu/index.php/undergrad/hap/
University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio: uthscsa.edu/csa/grad-ms.asp
This is a general link: https://www.anatomy.org/graduate-programs-in-anatomy.html
If you are interested in this field, definitely consider volunteering or start with your own school and see if there are opportunities or teachers who can work with you to get started. Also check out events and museums like the Perot Science Museum downtown, which has a very cool space exhibit: https://www.perotmuseum.org/. There is a lot of research on medicine in space...
You are on an amazing journey and the sky is the limit :) !
