<p>Hi I am a prospective student to Brown University. I am deciding what I want to major in: Human Biology or Neuroscience. I read about both majors on the Brown website but I would appreciate if anyone could give me more insight about the two majors. Just FYI my ultimate goal. as it stands, is to go to medical school. Which major is better for that Golden Road? Also I want to major in the “major” that encompasses more theortical biology rather than sit at a computer all day and read scans. I really want to know if either or both majors are computationally analytical? I really would not prefer to apply to a major that involves being on a computer have the time. Eyes hurt after a while. I hope some present or past human biology or neuroscience majors respond to this. I am desperate for answers because I need to turn in my applications ASAP. Thanks so much to anyone who responds. Happy Holidays!</p>
<p>there is absoultely no reason to need to decide this now. none. nada. stop. </p>
<p>and they are called concentrations, don’t mix that up on your application. </p>
<p>neither are that computational, fyi, and in human bio you have the option of A.B. which is less hardcore. A.B. human bio, human behavior is like soft, more theoretical neuroscience with more room to study other things</p>
<p>Neither of these are computational and they have drastically different course work. Reading course titles and descriptions should help you determine which you’re more interested in at the moment. That will likely change.</p>

<p>You don’t “apply to a major” at Brown (with the exception of engineering, I suppose). On the application, you are indicating your academic preferences. You could say you want to study English on your application and end up majoring in neuroscience.</p>
