They do that at my school too, but most people don't recognize it. They couldn't even fit all that stuff on my graduation announcements. Oh well. I was too busy to send them out anyway.

Oh, that's too bad. Well, congratulations on your double honors! If you don't get recognition from anyone else, you at least deserve recognition from us! 👍👍👍

I'm suprised at the number of people with two majors and a minor, or a major and two minors. Or three majors. Or whatever.

At my school, we can have 1) a major and a minor or 2) two majors. That's it.

I majored in Biology. I could have had a minor in chemistry or biochemistry, but I didn't feel like taking physical chemistry. I decided to hold onto whatever sanity I have left. Bio was hardcore enough to beat any ambition out of me....

What the hell is Animal Science with Beef and Dairy minors 🙁

Physiology Major
Biology Minor

I went to a big ag school for ugrad so that didn't faze me at all. I had friends who were Poultry Science majors... yeah, wtf?

My undergraduate was like that too the only way to get around it was to get two seperate degrees. If you had two different degrees then you could have a minor on each degree (the only way you could have two minors).

Human Physiology (biochem and biology minors)

 

[snarkypro]

general studies. jk. math. GO MATH GEEKS

 

[AGCSC]

I'm a biology and computer science double major (CS was originally physics), but I'm thinking about getting my MBA before going off to medical school.

 

[bones11]

It's a little lonely, being a Classics major in a pre-med forum.

 

[cheesegirl]

Anthropology with a human biology concentration!!! It is an amazing major...I recommend it for all pre-meds. I feel much more open minded about other cultures and have the tools to understand different value systems and beliefs which I KNOW will help me as a dr. Plus, it lead to my thesis research in lowland Bolivia!

 

[acf11]

[mikkey]

Anatomy!

 

[Critical Mass]

My last Bachelor's was in Criminal Justice.

 

[AggieSean]

Physics major with a math minor.

I contemplated physics and biochemistry double major at one point, and then realized that that would be stupid.

Physics nerds, unite!

 

[apnea]

i have to get my RN so i can afford to live in a town with a REAL university 🙄

after that it will be a double major in biomedical science and biochemistry, with a double minor in French and Spanish.

kill me now 🙁

 

[Ross434]

Interdisciplinary Natural Science. anyone else in an interdisciplinary major?

 

[jochi1543]

No, I felt like it was too much work to make up....the idea of running every course choice by the committee didn't seem very appealing.

 

[cgjock80]

neuroscience and philosophy

 

[AnthonyNY]

Bio major + Philosophy minor

 

[bostonpmed]

Behavioral Neuroscience & Biomedical Physics,, Dual Study Program

 

[beauregard]

Interdisciplinary Natural Science. anyone else in an interdisciplinary major?

I am!

but in Humanities..

and then I also am finishing up a 2nd degree in biology.. because I don't want to get a real job.

 

[kronickm]

philosophy

 

[Meatwad]

(Pure) Mathematics. 👍 Gotta love those proofs.

 

[flaahless]

Microbiology with a chem minor... plan to do infectious disease

 

[glamqueen]

Journalism with an emphasis in public relations and a minor in comparative literature....yeah, how about - wasn't planning on med school when I was in undergrad...

Now earning a second undergrad in micro

 

[Cirrus83]

I was a Health and Society major...aka Public Health (although Rochester will insist to you that Health and Society is different than just Public Health because of a greater focus on all of society or something).

It's interdisciplinary but I don't think it really included the natural sciences. You can take history courses, anthropology courses, psychology courses, sociology courses, philosophy courses towards the major. But obviously most of these would relate to healthcare somehow (like medical ethics would be a philosophy course), and the ones that didn't relate as much are mostly there so you can take ones that relate to medicine (so like, you'd take regular ethics and it'd count towards the major). And the history classes would focus on western medicine, american medicine, etc. And anthropology would be more like, medical anthropology.

Good major but I wouldn't get into it if you weren't sure you were going to go to medical school or it's damned hard to get a job, lol. (by job I mean one that pays you in something other than skittles and twizzlers)

CBN - Cell Biology and Neuroscience Major

Minors
Psychology

[lsumedgirl]

history chick here

 

[el aye]

biochem, but i want to either switch to biophysics or pick up a minor in physics.

 

[Institute]

previous degree in Human Factors Psychology. Currently nontrad doing postbacc in molecular bioscience with minors in sociology/political sci.

 

[sejin8642]

The OP should've seperated Biology from Chem/Physics cuz majority major in Biology.

 

[Hershi]

Major- Psychology
Minors in - Philosophy & Biology

 

[blargh]

Engineering (BME) because I am a ****** who likes to pick majors filled with classes he hates.

lolstaticsanddynamicslol

haha i remember statics and dynamics. our first midterm average was around 40%. are you by chance beng at ucsd?

 

[greg1184]

Major: Microbiology and Immunology
Minor: Chem

 

[picaresque]

Double in fine art photography and political science. Try to find some overlap there, I dare you.

 

[Ella Shepherd]

I'm a freshman. Last semester I was a BS Biology student. I just recently changed courses to BS in Public Health. This sem, I'm just trying to catch up with all the gen ed subjects I missed.

I wonder, why isn't there BS in PH there in the US? 🙂

 

[Twiigg]

Neuroscience (psychology on roids) 🙂

 

[Lshapley]

It's a little lonely, being a Classics major in a pre-med forum.

Another classics major here! I was specifically a latin major, at my undergrad you could be a latin or greek major, but not a classics major. I also had more than enough credits to have minors in studio art and dance...but I was missing a history class in both disciplines that would have let me qualify.

 

[Geekchick921]

Theatre BFA, Psych Minor. Though I realized I'm only about a year away from a Psychobiology degree from my school, so I just contacted them the other day about coming back to finish it, and possibly actually doing their post-bacc program as well. I've taken a few pre-med classes at a nearby college that will probably transfer over, but if the majority of the classes are completed at the first college I think they'll take it.

 

[Geekchick921]

Double in fine art photography and political science. Try to find some overlap there, I dare you.

I switched back and forth between theatre and psychobiology during undergrad. Glad to see another renaissance person. 😉

 

[Maxprime]

Almost 4% of responders right now are math majors - 4x the normal amount. 😀

Oh, math & econ double with minors but who cares about minors.

 

[futuredrcrawfor]

Biology Major
most likely History Minor- just waiting for the chair in biol to confirm a couple things in my plan!

 

[TrojanMatt]

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Studies major
Natural Sciences minor
