NPB vs Bio Sci Major

<p>I was looking at the requirements for both these majors and from what i saw their prep course work is exactly the same but once you get into the depth requirements it changes quite a bit. </p>

<p>I’m not really sure what NPB would be, but it seems really interesting compared to Bio Sci. I know both majors will be pretty difficult but if anyone knows anything about the majors i would really like the insight.</p>

<p>It’s the same for all bio related majors, the prep course work is very similar. NPB include both NPB and Excercise Biology. The registrar’s course catalog describes each major and career choices pretty well…</p>

<p>thanks fooshy</p>

<p>is there anybody in these majors that would give me some insight. There are a lot of sciences classes, so wouldnt this basically mean you would have to double up on them. Is this like going through hell or is it manageable if you have good study skills and are dedicated to your work?</p>

<p>Well as a science major, I can tell you that it’s not “a lot” of science classes, and the amount you take for NPB is very similar to Genetics. All bio sci majors pretty much take the same prep subject material, and most people do chem and math frosh year, bio and ochem soph year. You do double up on classes a lot. Personally, because I transferred from PoliSci, I’m going to be cramming ochem into summer sessions and such, but mostly it’ll be 2 science classes/quarter plus 2 of whatever class you wanna take. =)</p>
