Can you do a double major with a BS/MS in both majors? Like double major in biomedical and accounting, is it theoretically possible to do BS/MS in BME and BA/MBA in Accounting? Then, can you still have a minor?
Why?
Maybe he wants to be a medical billing clerk. G only knows that field could use someone with at least a small modicum of intelligence.
I am not sure getting all of those unrelated degrees with no plan or reason or having ever held an actual job would qualify, though (let alone be advisable or even realistically possible).
It sounds like you aren’t sure which field you prefer for a career. Is that so? It is it that there is a job you want that recommends both degrees?
That does not make much sense to us here. But if you give more of your reasons for that idea, we can probably offer some guidance.
yeah, I wanted to get a degree in both BME and accounting because I have high interests in both and wish to get a job in either fields. from experience of family, i see that it is good to have a back plan just in case the first one fails. I love both fields and i think that they are a good enough contrast. @colorado_mom
Unfortunately you are going to have to decided. It’s really not practical to do both. Maybe you can think of ideas to combine your interests … maybe accountant at biomedical company. Are you a high school student now?
Suffice it to say…no.
Engineering curricula are too packed to double in anything. Minors are possible, but if it’s not in something technical, it will dilute the strength of your engineering and compromise your ability to get a job as an engineer. It boils down to an either/or decision, but not both.
Below is a representative curriculum path. Note, it has zero free electives. You can see that it would be challenging to squeeze in enough business classes to minor, let alone double.

Good luck.
I think I had exactly two free electives. I took tennis and racquetball! An engineering major’s schedule is so packed with hard classes that it’s nice to take something fun. The thought of taking serious classes in another major is not appealing! You will have your hands full with engineering, trust me.
It’s not only impractical; it is likely to hurt your job prospects in both fields as employers would wonder why you have both degrees.
