<p>Which major would you consider to be more reasonable in terms of courseload, ability to minor in another subject as well as have a life at Georgetown? </p>
<p>I enjoy both biology and chemistry a great deal and plan to attend medical school someday. However, I also am really interested in spanish and philosophy and would probably want to minor in one of those two subjects. </p>
<p>I would also like to have some type of life during my undergraduate years at Georgetown doing things such as partying and playing the piano, not to mention volunteering at the hospital. </p>
<p>If there are any current Biochemistry or Chemistry majors from Georgetown who would like to comment on any of the subjects that I have addressed, it would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>the chem and biochem major are very similar, in fact, the only differences are a few changes in the junior and sr. year curriculum. You don't have to decide whether you are biochem or chem until jr. year, so you can explore those options here. The chem and biochem majors have the same number of required courses, it's strictly your interest that decides whether you are chem or biochem. Minoring is more difficult as a science major, but definitely possible in either spanish or philosophy so don't worry about that. I can say that the chemistry dept. is one of georgetown's best.</p>
