If you are interested in the more chemistry- or physics-related aspects of biology, you can major in biochemistry or biophysics respectively; if you are interested in the interface between biology and psychology, you can major in neuroscience & behavior. Any one of these biology-related majors is a logical choice if you are interested in going on to a career in research, teaching, biotechnology, genetic counseling, forensics, or patent law, just to name some of the possibilities.
