Biology at UCSB

<p>I'm considering a transfer to UCSB and I'll probably major in biology.</p>

<p>Does anybody know anything about the program? I know it's strong, but how difficult is it to get into classes? How big is an average class, and are the professors generally well-liked? Thanks.</p>

<p>ALL UC’s have excellent Science programs
The program at UCSB is veryyy unique b/c once a freshy u r not automatically into the program</p>

<p>after 2-3 quarters of pre-major work you choose a “specility strand” that you want toemphasize in</p>

<p>The 2 are:

  1. Evolution, Ecology, and Marine Biology
  2. Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology</p>

<p>After that you take courses and do research in your particular department</p>

<p>The Classes issue is definitly an issue b/c UCSB is dealing through cutting departmental budgets… so nothing is certain</p>
