| Career | Suggested other major or minor | Comments |
| PreMedicine or other Health Professions | -Select courses from Biology, Physics and Chemistry | -These professionals apply science to clinical health practices |
| Bioinformatics |
-BA in computer science
|
-These scientists use computer technology to use experimental data to make predictions and correlations
|
| Basic science with BCMB emphasis (e.g. forensics if BCMB/Chemistry)(biophysics) | -BA in basic science (e.g. physics, chemistry, biology) | - BCMB is so cross disciplinary that professionals in basic sciences often require BCMB knowledge to enhance their basic science training |
| Education | -BA in Education with potential certification areas in biology, chemistry, general science, all science | -science teachers are in shortage, especially in physical sciences - multiple endorsements like those possible with BCMB are highly employable |
| Biotechnology Patent Law, Intellectual Property |
-Advanced courses in communication and critical thinking skills; -Ask us about Drake's 3+3 program to complete your BA and JD in 6 years! |
