Choosing A Degree Path

Hi,

Initially, I was considering majoring in cognitive science (B.S.) with a B.A. in the history of science and technology ... Both of which are offered at Brown and Hopkins. Allowing me to transfer my credits in Evolutionary Psycho-biology and Neurology. I would thence pursue a master's in cellular/molecular biology and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering.

However, I am strongly considering a local institution (Univ. of Miami) of which would require that I remodel my originally chosen education path. Currently, I am contemplating a major in biology and a minor in computer science(as offered at Univ. of Miami) to prepare me for a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering ... and give me a unique job outlook.

I would appreciate any insights ... including the pros and cons of such a selection (biology; computer science) in comparison to alternatives ... thanks again for any guidance!
