<p>I have three questions regarding Cornell's 'Biology and Society' major. Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>1- Is there any way of taking this major and concentrating in a specific field of biology (such as genetics)?</p>
<p>2- How does this major compare to the regular biology major?</p>
<p>3- Lastly, does any other university offer a similar program?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I am wondering about this too. Can you do that major with premed, or is it best to stick with general bio.?</p>
<p>On the course description site it says the major is great for premed</p>

<p>I don't think there are official "concentrations" in this major as there is with the regular biology major. You can, of course, just take a buttload of genetics courses but I don't think there will be a formal acknowledgement of a concentration.</p>
<p>I'm a pure bio major so all my courses are science-based. You will of course have to take science classes but there is also the "society" part of it (things like health issues, bioethics, etc.) that you will have to take courses in.</p>
