I was browsing the websites of Wesleyan’s Biology, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, and Chemistry departments. I noticed that under chemistry, there is a Biological Chemistry track. What’s the difference between Biological Chemistry and MB&B?

I noticed that with Biological Chemistry, you don’t have to take IntroBio concurrently with IntroChem freshman year. Biology and Biochemistry wouldn’t be important until like junior year. With MB&B, it’s suggested (in theory required) that you take Bio and Chem concurrently freshman year. Would that make it less “work” or am I just being naive?

I’m nowhere choosing my major yet. I’ll definitely explore more, but I wanted to know. I still have two more years before I even get to college.
