<p>What is Brown’s strongest major?
I know that I want to major in science (probably biochem) </p>
<p>but do you think Brown has a strong science program? </p>
<p>I was going to do early decision until i figured Brown is more of an English major type rather than science. </p>
<p>What do you guys think? </p>
<p>is Brown a good science school? </p>
<p>I know it has medical school in grad, but would this make Brown a good undergrad science school?</p>
<p>Others can answer this better than I can – but Brown has excellent science facilities and strong science professors (check out Ken Miller, James Head and Andy Van Damm for example). In the last few years, Brown has invested millions of dollars into improving its life and health science facilities and staff – new state-of-art buildings (Sidney Frank Hall), hiring 40 or so new faculty members. </p>
<p>Visit campus and take the physical sciences tour, and you’ll understand how important the sciences are to Brown. I know I recently read a statistic about the percentage of science majors at Brown, and the number that sticks in my head is 40%.</p>
<p>Search CC for posts by modestmelody – he knows all about the sciences at Brown. </p>
<p>In brief – yes, Brown is a good science school.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your detailed answer. Do you go to Brown university?</p>

<p>to name a few.</p>
<p>you can’t really go wrong, most majors are strong. brown is neither a science nor a humanities school. its a school.</p>
<p>Some of our best departments for undergraduates are the neuroscience, geology, computer science, and applied math departments.</p>
<p>As with all top school, we have strong programs across all of the “usual” subject areas-- biology, chemistry, physics, math, English, history, etc etc.</p>
<p>Brown has long been casted as a school less focused on the sciences but really this is a matter of admissions perspective-- it’s not the perspective of people at Brown, scientists and non-scientists, and in fact, it seems that only admissions seems to have to fight the battle to describe our science strength.</p>
<p>About 1/3-2/5s of Brown students study science, depending on the year.</p>
<p>Biochem happens to be a very strong area at Brown, in my opinion, not only because of the strong core faculty but also because there are a lot of biochemistry concentrators working with neuroscience, geology, computer science, and physics. The ease of interdisciplinary work both in courses and research at Brown really helps undergraduates leverage our human capital resources to a high degree, not matched at many other places.</p>
<p>It is very well documented that the college of the present topic, Brown University, has shortcomings in the scholarly scientific fields. Indeed, both the internet and libraries around the globe abound with data that suggests that the college of the present topic, Brown University, lacks in noble scientific pursuits. Had you desired another scholastic undertaking, such as that of, but not limited to, English, Investment Banking, Poetry Analysis, Health Education, or History of the Past, then the college of the present topic would better suit your needs. In summary, due to the preceding thoughts I have constituted above, it would be in your best interests to avoid the college of the present discussion, Brown University.</p>
<p>Sincerely, Skiier65. May your scientific passions lead to many great things such as, but not limited to, happiness, fulfillment, knowledge, hope, splendor, and awe.</p>
<p>That may be the most ridiculous post I’ve ever read. Bravo, skiier65.</p>
<p>i don’t think skiier is the best with the language of teh present topic, english</p>
<p>skiier65 and napoleon… you just made my day :)</p>
