First of all, she needs to know that a biology degree will NOT give her an advantage when applying to medical programs. These programs usually like diversity and biology majors are the most common applicants. That means that biology applicants have less of a chance of being chosen because they have a lot more competition. If she had majored in a subject that is rarely seen among applicants, she would have a much better chance. I'm saying this since she's making such a big deal about concentration vs. major.
I don't know which SUNY college you're talking about, but I'm assuming that the concentration requires almost as many credit hours in biology as a major. All of the Big 3 offer biology degrees. COSC, however, only offers concentrations. TESC and COSC will require transfer credits. Excelsior offers all of the needed courses in a test or online course format. I forgot, Excelsior's program is a natural science degree with a concentration in biology. So, TESC is the only one that offers a major in biology, but they also offer the natural science and mathematics degree program, which is extremely flexible.
The only other thing I could find was a BAAS with a concentration in Biology and Biotechnology at University of Houston-Victoria.
