Double Major - Chem & Biology

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Ok....... </p>

<p>So I am a high school Junior from a small town is southwest Iowa.
I'm at Private , In-state colleges. </p>

<p>I want a career in Forensics, the lab analysis and that kind of thing.
So the best way to go for that is a degree in Chemistry. Which is my plan because chem is my
passion and what I LOVE to do!!!!! :) </p>

<p>And I am really interested in the DNA analysis side of forensics. And do this I would need a background or degree in Biology which I also love. So it works out for me. </p>

<p>But what I am looking for is feedback at to whether or not a double major in Chemistry and Biology is doable or insane. ;) </p>

<p>I should add that am a straight A student and the top of my glass with a GPA of 3.945. </p>

<p>So either way I know I can do this. So just comment as to whether or not you feel it is a good move at this point.</p>

<p>Thanks!!! </p>

<p>Yes it’s doable, no it won’t help you get a job or get into your career, and you should probably look at studying biochemistry, chemical biology, or analytical chemistry rather than biology and chemistry.</p>
