Biology or Computer Science major?

Question

I just changed my major to Computer science major and i just want to know which major need more math, Computer science (networking) or Biology major (pharmacy).

Answer 1

Compare the required courses and suggested electives for the the two programs (will be in the college course calendar) and see which one has more math. I'm guessing more math will be in the computer major.



Or ask the college course counsellors; they will be able to give you the correct answer.

Answer 2

Have you already started college? If you are within your first or second year, then take a few classes in both and see what you prefer more. There will always be a WIDE variety of jobs in the science fields, and just a BS in Biology will open up many, many opportunities, some you never even thought of. They all pay well. A computer degree is much more limited with what you want to do. That being said - I started out as a Biology major, spent all my time taking every science class I could, even for my electives the first two years. Winter term of my third year I took a Neuroscience class and said enough was enough, and switched to Art History. I ended up getting a BA in both Religious Studies and Art History. Right now I am working (making $40K a year at a manufacturing firm, would have gotten much less without a degree) but would eventually like to go to grad school for a MA in Religious Studies. For me, it ended up being more important to pay student loans back on something that I was truly passionate about, even if I didn't work in that field. But I am not everyone, and you may not need that. If I had to choose between the two, I would go for the Biology (Pharmacology if you may) hands down. There is much more to do with that degree. Look up jobs on monster and see what you might want to do. Your college should also have some sort of career center with lists of what you can do with each degree, and that might help you decide as well.

Answer 3

Computer Science needs more math, but the jobs are more fun and worth it. Endless companies are looking for back end and front end engineers. Lots of social networking and creativity involved, and much more fun than counting pills behind the lipstick aisle.
