What is a good science related major with-OUT much math/chemistry?

Question

I have had a lot of trouble with math and chemistry, but would like to major in something in the science field related to the environment and/or to animals. I have considered Biology, and Convervation but both have a lot of math and chemistry. Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

science uses math.
its math based
you cant get around that

Answer 2

You don't have to major in science to work with / in the environment. You don't even have to go to college. You can get a job working for the National Park Service as a technician or a woodworker or a custodian or any number of lower paying jobs.

There is nothing to be ashamed of not being good at math or chemisty -- they are hard subjects and not everyone can excel at them.

You can still do a lot to help make the environment a better place without being a science major.

Similarly zoos employee far more attendants and veterinary assistants than they do people who go to school for 20+ years. You can start as a volunteer in many places and then get the education/training you need as you progress.

Good luck!

Answer 3

You would have to take a certain number (exact number depends on the policies of the college) of courses in that science. Examples of sciences would be biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, etc. Many pre-med students are chemistry majors because they have to take so many chemistry courses for medical school anyway. An example of a chemistry major would be the following courses: Introductory chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Lab - two semesters, Physical Chemistry, and enough elective chemistry courses to meet the required number of credits (e.g. 25 credit hours). One may also have to take physics and math to be a chemistry major, and of course, one would have to also fulfill any general education requirements to get a degree. Pre-med at most schools (University of Dayton is an exception) is a set of courses in biology, chemistry, physics and English and sometimes other subjects. The web sites of the medical schools of interest to you will tell you exactly what you need to take as an undergraduate.

Answer 4

For minimal amounts of math, why don't you check out arts and crafts that might relate to the science you're interested in? Understanding natural materials and knowing how they are worked is of great value to a number of sciences. Illustrators and artists are absolutely essential to conveying much of scientific knowledge. Science needs historians, reporters, and enthusiastic volunteer hands as well.
Point is, while science means math, helping do science doesn't mean you have to be a scientist.

Answer 5

Science is inextricably linked to math. There is no science out there that does not require a large amount of number-crunching, sorry. I would say that the biology branches have the least math, but that an uneducated opinion, as i have never studied them.

good luck

Answer 6

I am sorry, honey, but you need math. I, as an ethologist, use statistical analysis all the time in population studies. I also occasionally use some of that two semesters of calculus I took. I have three or four semesters of chemistry, too. I do not use it much, but You will still need at least one semester of college chemistry. Technicians need much less of all of the above, so consider that also.

Answer 7

Cryptozoology doesn't require any math or science knowledge and it deals with animals.
As for the environment, try becoming a Hollywood star. Many know nothing about math or science but many consider them experts in environmental issues (especially themselves).

Answer 8

Well.. math comes from physics.. so avoid that. Chemistry has to do with like everything too.. so pretty much math, physics and chem are no-nos..what's left? Honestly, if you don't like chem and especially don't like math.. i wouldn't suggest anything in the science field. sorry.

Answer 9

hahahahahahahahahaha. thanks I need to have a good laugh. science without chemistry might, i repeat, might be doable, but with math, yea thats a good one.
