<p>Hey everyone… so apparently columbia has 2 biochemistry majors… one in the chemistry department and another in the biology department… aside from the fact that the requirements are different (biology department has like 7 less courses required and diff course choices)… what’s the difference? </p>

<p>Biology Department Biochemistry: [Biochemistry</a> Major Requirements](<a href=“http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/pages/undergrad/cur/majors/biochem.html]Biochemistry”>http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/pages/undergrad/cur/majors/biochem.html)</p>

<p>Chemistry Department Biochemistry:

<p>Most likely I’m going to go to medical school but on the offhand if I don’t… what’s why I’m majoring in biochemistry, so I’ll have more choices… otherwise I’d just major in biology.</p>

<p>P.S. does anyone have a link to a listing of degrees and amount of degrees awarded by Columbia university to some graduating class?</p>

<p>how hard is the courseload if your majoring in Econ and maintaining a relatively high GPA?</p>
