<p>Another thing that you should keep in mind when making a choice is that BME is not a stand-alone major at CMU. You are actually required to double-major in BME and another engineering specialty. </p>
<p>Overall, CMU’s BME department offers [5 different tracks](<a href=“http://www.bme.cmu.edu/default.aspx?id=207”>http://www.bme.cmu.edu/default.aspx?id=207</a>) which you can combine with electrical/computer engineering (ECE), chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, or civil/environmental engineering.</p>
<p>For example, you can double-major in ECE and BME with a [concentration in bioimaging](<a href=“http://www.cmu.edu/bme/schedule/ECE_BIMG.html”>http://www.cmu.edu/bme/schedule/ECE_BIMG.html</a>), or you may choose to study mechanical engineering and BME with a concentration in [cell and molecular biotechnology](<a href=“http://www.cmu.edu/bme/schedule/ME_CMBT.html”>http://www.cmu.edu/bme/schedule/ME_CMBT.html</a>) or in [biomechanics](<a href=“http://www.cmu.edu/bme/schedule/ME_BMEC.html”>http://www.cmu.edu/bme/schedule/ME_BMEC.html</a>).</p>
<p>All options draw on CMU’s various strengths in different engineering fields and offer excellent preparation for graduate school. Besides, you will graduate with a prestigious CMU ECE, MechE, CE,ChE, or MAtScE degree, in addition to a BME qualification.</p>
