<p>Biology used to be my ideal major. But now I am leaning more toward bioengineering because I feel like you get to learn more about different fields of science. However, I heard that bioengineering is harder than biology. So I just want to know the pros and cons of these two majors and what you can do with these majors when you come out of college. Thanks.</p>
<p>After college, a bioengineer could do almost all the things a biologist could, but not the other way around. Bioengineering will involve significant amounts of math and physics - you will be studying things like mathematically modeling cellular processes and using cells/bioreactors for commercial purposes.</p>
<p>Biology, on the other hand, tends to be more conceptual - your classes will be a lot of reading, memorizing, and understanding concepts. </p>
<p>Remember you can always change from bioE to biology, but not the other way around.</p>
<p>It really matters on your future plans. Agree with above, more “hard science” needed with Bio-E</p>
