<p>I am registered as a BS Bio Major (Microbiology & Biotech option). </p>

<p>I still want to be a biology major, but I am not too keen on the reqs of my major/option.</p>

<p>I hope to work in public health/epidemiology or maybe something similar, so microbiology seemed like a good option. But the reqs are overwhelming, especially considering some of the classes I want to take. </p>

<p>My current major requires: 2 physics classes, 4 chemistry classes (a mixture of general chem, organic chem, and biochem)</p>

<p>I am considering switching to a non-comprehensive bio major. It has the same physics requirement, but only has two required chemistry classes (organic chem). I also need a minor.</p>

<p>Which would be the better option, you think?</p>

<p>Any current bio majors who can give me some insight?</p>

<p>The first option sounds pretty typical of most bio majors. Are you sure the 2nd option doesn’t requre gen chem? Organic chem assumes knowledge of A LOT of gen chem, so you might wanna check that out.</p>
