<p>ctually, not <em>that</em> far apart. Biology and Business are both very strong programs. The B school is a two-year undergrad program with competitive admissions and a number of pre-requisites - it is possible to take a single “Business” discipline as a minor, however - [The</a> Mason School of Business at the College of William & Mary](<a href=“http://mason.wm.edu/mason/]The”>http://mason.wm.edu/mason/) - so, it would be possible to take a Bio major with a business minor, but the workload would be rather high; remember, W&M is a LAC, so there’s a fair amount of GER requirements that have to be met as well. </p>
<p>“Molecular Biology” covers a lot of ground - the biology major is pretty strong in bio/chem, genetics, cell bio, etc, but not so much into the quantitative aspects, like, say, a “bioinformatics” major, which isn’t offered. The teaching and research component of Bio are what make it a particularly strong offering at W&M. </p>
<p>I believe you wrote, though, about $40K debt after graduation vs. none at another school. Honestly, that’s really hard to overlook - when grad school is a likelihood, especially med school, avoiding undergrad debt is pretty important, at least in my mind. Of course, on the other hand, W&M is particularly effective at getting students <em>into</em> top grad schools, so there’s that …</p>
