"I decided to major in human biology, as other schools that I looked into didn’t offer anything quite like it. The closest majors of other schools were general biology, chemistry, pre-med, etc., but UW-Green Bay’s human biology major included an aspect of all of them. I felt comfortable majoring in human biology because I felt there were other healthcare options I could pursue if my original plan didn’t quite work out."
