<p>Sounds like you are an entering college freshman. You will learn a lot more about which majors most appeal to you once you have a few of the college’s courses under your belt. Your current view is still rather immature. </p>
<p>Eons ago I got my Honors (ie thesis and courses required, not just gpa) degree in Chemistry at a top ten grad school in that field. I chose to get the BA since I met requirements for both (had met the BA foreign language reqs with my HS courses but also had more in another language as suggested by the dept) and liked the white tassel for graduation better. I showed that not only could I do the science, but that I chose to be more well rounded. I also chose medical over graduate school. I am glad I took so many “stupid” arts courses when I had the chance as an undergrad.</p>
<p>btw- my undergrad school was U of Wisconsin-Madison. Decisions as to the specific degree need to be made the semester one proposes to graduate. One often enters with a declared major but it is known that students often change their minds between starting and finishing college. There students most often chose zoology or botany instead of the less focused biology major. Or they chose another biological field. Currently some students wonder which school/college to get some biology related degrees in as the degree requirements vary somewhat.</p>
<p>Your choices are all over the (science) map. What are your final intentions? Figure out which field most interests you and chose that major. If you are playing the premed game rethink your logic. Most premed students (an intention, not a major) either change their minds or do not get into medical school. You need a major you can put your heart into and use for a future career. You need to be invested in it not just be using it as a stepping stone to something else. The hard core science professors and physicians I have met over the course of my life have many fascinating interests in the liberal arts as well as their chosen career field. You would not have liked my Honors/rigorous freshman Chemistry sequence- we were required to read Silent Spring one semester and The Double Helix the next and write a one page paper on each (these were timely books in the very early 1970’s, I later did some Honors lab work where physical chemists were figuring out the properties of DNA- also had to type without use of any computer technology).</p>
<p>Just reread your post. Still will keep premed comments- benefit any others reading this. Remembered that I have also read the personal websites of many TAs and profs in sciences. Amazing what college academics do in their spare time. One of the purposes of an undergrad education is to be well rounded before zooming in on one specific study. </p>
<p>Discuss your options with your college advisor. Your future grad school field should dictate you current focus.</p>
