Choosing the Right Major

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brandeis University

<p>I’ve been admitted to Brandeis, and plan on attending this fall. </p>

<p>I was wondering about the workloads for double-majors, and particular which combinations have the most/least amount of intensive studying/paper-writing/assignments.</p>

<p>I plan on attending medical school, so I will be taking the proper pre-med courses.
Which majors would work best with that? Biology? Biochemistry? </p>

<p>Considering those two, I also want to take another major.
I’m interested in Linguistic Anthropology, as well as Psychology.</p>

<p>Which have the least work?</p>

<p>The possible combinations here would be (along with pre-med):
Biology w/ Linguistic Anthropology
Biology w/ Psychology
Biochemistry w/ Linguistic Anthropology
Biochemistry w/ Psychology </p>

<p>I’m also open to the other Anthropology majors, or maybe even taking it as a minor instead. But at this point, these are my top choices.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any advice.</p>

<p>I think there are fair number of students who take both Bio or BioChem and Psych, because there’s definitely some double counting within those areas.
You can look at the courses of instruction to see which areas crosslist with which:
