<p>I got accepted into Vanderbilt and thinking of majoring in psychology or biology. Are these two programs good in Vandy? Which one is better?</p>
<p>I’m a molecular and cellular biology major, and I’ve had really great professors and plenty of research opportunities. If you’re interested in both psych and bio, you may want to consider a neuroscience major</p>
<p>^^^ I’m interested mostly in various branches of field biology – ie, the various wildlife biologies (ethology and zoology and whatnot), ecology, and maybe botany, but there would of course be some overlap between it and mol/cell bio. How would you say classes in my areas of interest compare?</p>
<p>Oh, and is it advisable to use AP Bio credit to get out of the beginner bio course?</p>
<p>Bio AP credit will not place you out of into bio (BSCI 110). I am biased, but I think our biology department is much stronger than our Psych department. As I have always said, you are various research opportunities here in the department, and even a sub-major plan that is tailored to your specific interests.</p>
<p>This is how the websites describes the program:
"Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology (EEOB), for students seeking a foundation for advanced training in ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation/environmental biology, or related subdiscipline. "
More details on classes required, and other Biosci majors can be found below.
