<p>I was wondering what the difference was between the two. I looked both of them up on google and came to the department of biology both times. So is there a difference?</p>
<p>Also, what is the difference between pre med and taking a major like biology. I know that obviously they will be different in some aspects but won't both of them fulfill the course requirements necessary to applying to med school?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>I’m assuming that Biology and Biological Sciences are the same thing. I’ve only ever heard of a Biology department/undergrad major here.</p>
<p>As for your second question, biology is a major, while pre-med is not. Pre-med is just the set of courses you have to take to apply to med school; you still have to have a major, which may or may not overlap significantly with the pre-med requirements. There are a few courses not required by the biology major that are required for pre-med (a second semester of Physics, for one).</p>
