What to expect
Direct industry jobs are limited without grad school. Most biology majors go pre-health or pursue PhDs. GPA matters heavily for grad school admission.

FAQ
Is biology a good major?
Strong if grad school or pre-health bound. Limited career options at bachelor's level alone.
Bio vs biochem?
Biochem is more chemistry-heavy; better for industry biotech jobs. Bio broader for pre-med.
Bio major or pre-med?
Pre-med is a track, not a major. Bio is the most common major for pre-meds — but not required.
