Confused about science major

<p>I am confused about certain science major:
Biology,
Chemistry,
Biochemistry,
Chem/Phys/Molecular Biology,
Biomedical Engineering,
Chemical Engineering,
Pharmaceutical sciences, (won't lead to pharmacy)</p>

<p>Is one more conceptual or more mathematical? What is in the normal curriculum for the major? Which majors do not contain alot of physics? What is the workload?</p>

<p>biology is the least mathematical as you move to chemistry then the engineerings you get very very mathematical.</p>

<p>I am not sure if they require physics for biology but usually there is 1 year of physics for chemistry plus 1-1.5 years of physical chemistry for chemistry and biochemistry.</p>

<p>All the sciences have a high workload compared to say accounting or the BA’s with long hours in the lab.</p>

<p>The engineering is the only one listed with decent job prospects. Biology, chemistry biochemistry all suffer from insanely high unemployment and insanely low salaries for those who are employed ($15-$20 per hour no benefits temp/contract).</p>

<p>At my school, Biology requires up to Calc 3, as well as 2 semesters of Physics. But this varies from school to school. But SS is right in the case that the “higher” the discipline gets, the more mathematical it gets, until it becomes pure math. I’m not sure if you’re trying to avoid physics or what by your question, but if that’s your purpose, engineering may not be for you, as it contains alot of applied physics courses such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, kinetics, and others.</p>
