How far can I go with a Biomed degree

<p>I am really interested in studying biomedical engineering but I am not sure about what kind of jobs I might be able to get coming out of college. Should I get my undergrad and grad in biomed; or should get my undergrad in mechanical engineering then a graduate in biomed?</p>

<p>click BME…this shows specific companies chosen by BME grads and their job titles (2006 survey is much more detailed) …only for graduate students though.</p>

<p>If you are planning to get a PhD I really doubt it will matter.</p>

<p>Well if you dress up, you MIGHT be able to make it to second base…</p>

<p>BME is starting to pick up and more schools are creating BME programs. However, it seems that a graduate degree (especially looking at Cornell’s stats) is still the best way to maximize your employability. </p>

<p>Yes, you can do a Mechanical/Chemical/Electrical undergraduate degree and then enter BME graduate school. This might be a good option if you are unsure about whether to go into BME and still have a fall back major.</p>

<p>My school offers a BME bachelors/masters 5 year program. I think a lot of schools have similar programs. Check and see if you could do something like that.</p>

<p>If you have a MS, the sky is your limit really. You should be able to get almost any job in the industry you want (except for top research jobs, reserved for PhD’s - of course).</p>
