This person majored in Biology as an undergrad and did it: [Brian M. Bowen Homepage](http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~bmbowen/)
This person majored in Industrial Engineering as an undergrad and did it: [Richard McKenna’s Home Page](Richard McKenna's Home Page)
This person majored in Music as an undergrad and is doing it: [jilljermyn | The Columbia University Intrusion Detection Systems Lab](http://ids.cs.columbia.edu/content/jilljermyn.html)

None of those 3 regret the hard work it took because of the rewards that followed. In fact, your undergraduate degree in Biology could come in handy if you ever want to get involved in Computational Biology, which is an area of interest at Stony Brook.
