<p>hey! I don't know if this is a stupid question to ask but I don't quite understand the difference between U. Wisconsin's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and College of Letters & Science? Both colleges offer the same majors I'm interested in (Biochemistry, Biology and Microbiology). What are the differences? Does it matter if I choose Biochemistry from the College of Letters & Science from Biochemistry from the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences?</p>
<p>HELP! Thanks :)</p>
<p>Slightly different degree requirements. CALS has more scholarship $$$. Smaller more intimate feel overall with own advisers and placement office. Other than that–nothing much. Yes, it is weird.</p>
<p>is the workload different? is one harder to get into? is the LS more liberal arts-y? I’m interested to go to medical school, is one recommended over the other? I can’t really make my mind up :(</p>
<p>Generally no as you take same classes/profs for the major except some outside requirements No admit difference.</p>

<p>The two schools overlap majors in the life scienes with exceptions: CALS offers genetics, L&S offers Molecular Biology. CALS offers a wide range of “applied life science” majors as well. L&S sticks you with a few more requirements in the humanities and CALS asks for a little more in math and non-major sciences. CALS offers very good academic advising and advising on research opportunities through CALS Health and Research Society (CHARS). Bio-Core is available to students in either college, but administered by L&S. Choose CALS for the advising and less focus on liberal arts requirements, more focus on science and math.</p>
