Based on your post, after you complete your undergrad degree, you are planning to seek employment rather than going to graduate or professional school?
The College of Natural Sciences at UT offers several transcript recognized certificate programs. You should look at these, as they’ll complement your major and enhance your employment prospects. http://catalog.utexas.edu/undergraduate/natural-sciences/degrees-and-programs/
Also, the College of Business offers several certificate programs for majors in other fields.

Since you are interested in biochemistry, you might consider a major in the related field of nutrition, which would offer some alternative employment prospects. You also might consider a major in bioengineering in which you can emphasis cellular and biomolecular engineering. This emphasis has two career foci that might interest you: nanotechnology and biomaterials/regenerative medicine.
