Barnard or UC Berkeley?

I’m going to be undeclared my first year year but I am hoping to figure out whether I want to major in cultural anthropology and eventually get my PhD and become a professor, or go more toward the path of pre-med and become a doctor. I know, haha two really different things, but I’m hoping to figure it out!

<p>You can take the pre-med courses alongside most majors, including cultural anthropology.</p>

<p>For example, the [anthropology</a> major at Berkeley](<a href=“http://sis.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_view_req?p_dept_cd=ANTHRO]anthropology”>http://sis.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_view_req?p_dept_cd=ANTHRO) requires 12 courses. Pre-med would add about 10 courses, for a total of 22. Considering that you’ll probably take about 32 courses over eight semesters, that still leaves space for about 10 more, although you may have to use up to 2 for reading and composition and up to 4 for additional breadth requirements, which would still give you at least about 4 courses worth of schedule breathing room.</p>
