What is Your Major?

I'm thinking about bioinformatics.

Major: Botany
Minor: Psychology

Don't do it!!!!!!
I had a full module if it in both first and second year...
My god, I hated it...
Eveyrone hated it actually...

[amorphous]

lol, I'll see how it is. I don't mind biology, and I like cells and genes, so bioinformatics seemed like a natural connection. I haven't decided, I'll see how it is.

biology.

[heyitzadam]

Physics with a concentration in secondary education... yay go teaching

Pre-Physical Therapy/Psychology double

Stating that you are a pre-PT denotes your professional goals, and indicates that you intend to complete a certain set of prerequisites for application to PT school. However, "Pre-Physical Therapy" is not a major. You cannot graduate with a degree in "Pre-PT". Thus, it is incorrect (and rather silly) to state that you are double majoring in pre-PT/psych.

If you like statistics and molecular biology, you'll probably be fine. It's really not as bad as some people say it is. In fact, I'd even say it can be quite interesting, especially if you appreciate the comp sci aspects of the field.

At my school, within the Kinesiology bachelors degrees there is a concentration in "Pre-Physical Therapy". Perhaps that's the type of thing she was talking about. It would actually say "Pre-Physical Therapy" on her degree.

Well, I stand corrected. Apparently some universities do have such programs.

I still think it's rather silly and inappropriate, though. If I saw a diploma which read "Bachelor of Science in Pre-Physical Therapy", I would laugh. "Pre-physical therapy" is not a science; it is merely a course of preparation for a particular professional school. Thus, as it is not a science, there ought not be a Bachelor of Science awarded for such a program. In my opinion, offering this degree violates the principles of four-year university education, and cheapens the B.S., becoming something akin to extended technical school. Call me an elitist, but I do not approve.

To be fair, it would only be a pre-physical therapy concentration, not the bachelors degree itself. The bachelors degree would be in kinesiology, which is a science.

Ah, fair enough! But then the actual major is kinesiology, not pre-physical therapy. For example, in newyorker92's case, it would be most correct to say "I'm double-majoring in psychology and kinesiology, with a concentration in [or, 'with an option in'] pre-physical therapy studies".
