Bio and Society requires a good work ethic. The core courses require a lot of reading and writing. The exams are based on these readings so if you don’t keep up…you’re screwed.

I was in the bio and society major…and everyone in that major who did well worked very hard. I knew a few people who relied on their “intelligence” to get them through the core courses and they suffered (1 had to stay an extra semester). At graduation…I would say a fair number of students graduated with latin honors.
