I would argue straight Biology isn’t that much harder than the average…

Chem can be, but Bio? It’s a lot of work, sure, but it ain’t… Advanced Calculus or Linear Algebra. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Personally I preferred Linear, though. Not because it was in any way easier, but because it was less bullshit-writing…

I hate writing (large amounts of) bullshit. It’s why I keep fucking up Uni. Not so much scientific reports, but more extreme long-form essay type shit…

You’d be surprised how much of that there is in a Biology degree.

Anyway, I fucking hate academia, so it really doesn’t matter the discipline, anymore. I just… Can’t seem to function properly in that world. Unfortunately… 😑

Remember that this chart is for BA, not BS degrees. I didn't even know a BA in Biology existed. But apparently it does:

The BA degree often allows more room for outside electives. This can be especially useful if you are trying to double major or minor. BA students usually still go on to med school, but some prefer to go into other fields like teaching or software engineering.

BS students typically take fewer general education requirements and more science and math courses. Additionally, BS students have the option to specialize. You should consider a BS degree if you are sure of what you want to concentrate on during your college career.

So, it's "biology-lite". Unsurprising that women would dominate the watered down version of a science degree

I'm not the OP. The data line at the bottom says the data is from the Department of Education. And "Carpe Diem AEI". I would imagine whoever AEI is created it.

Ohhhh ok, right. That doesn’t exist here…

Explains a bit, then, lol!

You can do combined “Arts Science” here, which I guess is the equivalent, but it’s over 5 years…

BAs in Science just don’t exist in the Australian system, though… 🤷🏻‍♂️

To be the devil's advocate, or the imp's advocate at least, there aren't a lot of schools that offer "Harming People" as a Bachelor degree. If you want to learn how to effectively harm someone, psychology or health sciences are the most logical routes to take: They teach exactly what harms people, because they need to teach that in order to clarify what helps people.

Your logic, as I can infer it, is street drug manufacturers would never take any chemistry courses or education, because street drug makers use chemical knowledge to harm people, and chemistry courses teach how to NOT do that, so clearly, it would be of no help to them.

Not saying he's right, just that your thought process is odd at best here.
