<p>I think CMU’s BME program is linked somehow to Pitt (their med school) but I too am too lazy to look it up. I do believe CMU’s putting time and $ into the major, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it ranked a lot higher in a few years.</p>
<p>aquamarinee I posted previously my S was an IS/CS double major. He also got the masters in IS (called MISM program) and he did that in 5 years. It included a mandatory summer. He said he could actually have gotten BS in IS plus MISM in 4 years, it was the CS that made it a 5th year. </p>
<p>It was great for us since he was still considered an undergrad all 5 years so got his financial aid for undergrad and grad program. He worked it so he finished all 3 degrees that final semester concomitantly. </p>
<p>Even though you’re at CMU you have to apply to MISM same as if you’re at some other school. That means application, essays, 3 recommendations, and take the GRE. He has an amazing job, you can pm me if you want.</p>
