Biology Majors at UC Berkeley | MCB, MEB, NutriSci, Chemical Bio, Bioengineering, & more!

A ton of my awesome UC Berkeley biology friends answer questions on their majors, from Molecular & Cell Biology (MCB), Molecular Environmental Biology (MEB), Nutritional Sciences (NutriSci), Chemical Biology (Chem Bio), and Bioengineering (BioE)! They talk about their concentrations, how to apply to each major, their favorite classes, and so much more. I highly recommend checking out the various timestamps if you’re an incoming student at Berkeley or an applicant or just hoping to learn more :) Like and subscribe if you’d like more interview-style videos and just to see the next few months and my senior year of college (eek!)
LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE--the next few months will be full of new experiences and honest thoughts on college and I can’t wait to document it all here :)

This is such a great way to represent the various divisions of biology :)!!

[@SenecaBrynn]

Thanks for watching! 😊

Currently thinking of switching my major with a bio major!!! this was very helpful. love this segment ❤️ i’ll be applying at berkeley too but for transfer. Nonetheless, this was realllyyyy informative!!!

Hi, can you please make a video on the admission requirements and process please cause your videos are quite simple and easy to understand.
Thank you

I absolutely loved watching this! I'm a freshman in the College of L & S, but want to switch to the College of Natural Resources. Any tips?

[@SenecaBrynn]

Aw thanks for watching! ☺ I would say to familiarize yourself with the College of Natural Resources' requirements (for the college itself and your major) and make sure you're accommodating those in your schedule. You might want to start taking those major-recommended courses in your first semester depending on how tight the scheduling is--I would say to chat with a Natural Resources advisor if you can to learn more. Here's a page with tons of info about switching into the College: nature.berkeley.edu/advising/change-college.
I hope that helps, good luck and go bears! 💙

Hi ALANA, I am interested in MCB , for this major how many math courses required?

[@selena4723]

I want to switch to CNR but Im not sure what major 😩 I’m between toxicology and nut sci ahhh

[@alexacvergara]

Are going to get a phd in the field that you’ve chosen? I am really interested in molecular and cell biology with a focus in genetics but I am scared that there might not be much work available for me at the bachelor lvl or even at masteral lvl!!

[@SenecaBrynn]

As of right now I'm leaning towards an MD/PhD actually! I definitely want to take a few years after undergrad to do more research and figure out where my passions lie. I think it's a great undergrad degree but most people do plan to go to further school afterwards. You can go directly and work in the pharmaceutical industry though!

People with multiple majors and minors are absolutely insane
