How versatile is a double-major in biomedical and chemical engineering?

I know I enjoy chemistry and have a general affinity for math and science. However, I have a lot of broad interests, including possibly working in medicine or computers, and want to avoid closing doors (or needing to change majors). My school has a specific program that makes this dual degree a smooth 5 years, so it shouldn't be too complicated.

Am I making a reasonable major choice? What fields could I feasibly work in with this major?

Biraj’s Answer

I see what you are saying. This is really good for studying cell biology, toxicology, and also developing therapeutics and vaccines. I would suggest going for it if it provides you with lots of work experience in a lab. and when you complete you get all the skills and experience to start a job asap.

Jayavignesh’s Answer

Chemical engineering is fairly broad, you can work in the petroleum field or clean rooms in semiconductor fabs. Biomedical engineering is a bit niche, but the field has high growth potential. Engineering in general will open many doors and college can help you focus your interests. If you can afford the 5 year program, I think it's worth pursuing.
