BA or BS in Biology?

[SlackerMomMD]

<p>

BTW, for our school, I don’t necessarily have to take more liberal arts courses if I decided to pursue the BA. The only difference between Biology BA and Microbiology BS is that for BS, I have to take 6 specific upper-level microbiology courses (I have no choice in which classes to take) whereas for BA, I have the freedom to choose any 6 upper-level biology courses that interest me.

<p>It almost looks like the microbiology is a specialization of the biology major, is that right? I guess the answer lies in what you want to do for grad school. If you want to study microbiology, then the microbiology BS would probably work better. It sounds like you want the Biology BA and have the freedom to choose upper-level courses outside microbiology. If that’s the case, go for it.</p>
