<p>Warbler, for some time I have wondered why so many college Biology departments seem to have such different major requirements. Like you, I noticed that many programs from reputable schools allow a tremendous degree of specialization at the undergrad level; no plant science, no developmental biology. I'm no science expert, but can a B.S. graduate of such a narrow prograrm expect to get an entry level job in the field, a research position or a place in grad school?</p>
