I'm boring. Dairy Science and Biology.
 
I have a B.S. in Animal Science with a minor in Poultry Science.

Where'd you go for undergrad? That's what I'm planning on doing my master's in, it sounds pretty awesome (assuming I don't get into Vet school this year 😱 but i'm prayin!)

Right now I'm a Biology Major with a Leadership and Social Change Minor at Virginia Tech. Gooo Hokies!

Biochemistry in undergrad (guess where? :laugh:), with a minor in history.

Kmeid, how do the mountains look today? 😀
 
I'm boring - Biology. It was going to be Double Major in Biology and Microbiology, but Micro required both semesters of o chem, and the second semester kicked my ass. 😛
 
English, with a major in Creative Writing... VetMed, here I come!
 
BS- Interdisciplinary Agriculture- Animal Science w/ Pre-Veterinary Emphasis, May 2011 🙂

They made it sound really long, but basically Animal Science--Pre-vet
 
Sociology and Biochemistry (but only because the pre-reqs practically fulfilled the major requirements).
 
I have an AS with an emphasis in Biology and an AA with an emphasis in Psychology from the local community college. Then I have a BS in Agriculture with a major in Animal Science and a minor in Life Science from Ohio State.
 
Marketing with a double minor in Psychology and Spanish
 
BS in Animal Science with a pre-veterinary emphasis
 
BS in Zoology.... and a Masters in Public Health (with a specialization in Veterinary Public Health)
 
BA (yes, BA, not BS) in Biology. And about one or two courses short each of an English, government, or anthropology minor...
 
Chemical Engineering... one class short of a Bio minor as well.

Ditto, except instead of being one class short, I just decided not to fill out the paperwork.

BS - Biology and Philosophy (although, philo is technically a BA but I don't have two degrees I don't think.....) with an English lit minor. Can I do anything with my degree?? Nope, not really....

Almost the same as you; Molecular Biology/Genetics & Philosophy double major. 9 credits short of a double degree, but I wanted to get the heck out of school by the end 🙂

yep, me too! BA in Biological Sciences. Totally love it when people are so proud of their BS's like it really means anything.

My boss used to say, "That's why I like to hire and take students from your UG. Your biology degree is not a complete BS like everyone else's!" :laugh:

Quite charming, that guy.

Haha. I love this!

Some of the other bio (and chem or biochem) majors in my class were all "BA? Arts? That's lame..." and seem to think it will be taken less seriously (which if any place ever were to, I think is ridiculous), but I was just "whatever. I really don't care what they call the degree as long as they give me one!"
 
B.S., Animal Sciences; Rutgers University (2001)
 
B. S. Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University (2006)
 
Graduating next spring with a BS in animal science with a concentration in animal biology and preveterinary from Michigan State
 
BA in history, BS in entomology, MS in entomology, & working on the PhD.
 
animal biology with a possible minor in managerial economics.
 
I didn't get a degree in undergrad. I went to Virginia Tech (yay Hokies!), but dropped out before finishing. Then I did a lot of traveling and meaningless jobs for 5 years before returning to community college to finish up the pre-reqs. However, at UC Davis, if you come in without a degree they give you a B.S. after completing second year (not anymore, unfortunately - class of 2014 is the last time they're doing this). So I now proudly have a B.S. in Veterinary Science 🙂

They are BEAUTIFUL Wtf 🙂

I'm currently sitting in Newman Library studying for my physics final (yuck). It's that time of year again, campus is covered with lost looking parents and herds of terrified looking seniors on campus tours. But I have to admit, Blacksburg is lovely in the summertime. If only it stayed this warm!

Go Hokies!!!! So so glad that everything turned out alright in Blacksburg today, very upsetting to hear about!

I haven't checked this in awhile and I'm happy there is so much Hokie love out there! (to my Penn State-ers, it was a close second choice when applying for undergrad, I loved it there too! If my family hadn't all been die hard Hokies it would've made for an even tougher decision.)

I was locked in physics lecture for 4 hours. It was a crazy day. But I have to admit I felt safe the entire time. The VT alert system is amazing and I personally think this has now become one of the safest schools to be at. Especially in a time of crisis.

Couldn't be happier here 🙂
 
Clinical Laboratory Science (the people that run the lab tests at human clinics/hospitals).

It is a 5 year degree and at it's core the same as a biology degree but you take classes such as parasitology, hematology, immunology, and microbiology vs. evolution, senior biology courses, etc. I figured the lab-based courses would be more applicable for veterinary school (not to mention I find those fascinating) and it would allow me to get a "real" job after graduation instead of being stuck with a 'useless' biology major, and teach me practical hands-on things such a phlebotomy and analyzing samples.

Almost forgot- also a Major in Fine Studio Arts (basically, it keeps me sane...)
