BCI, CS, EECS, BioE? Ahhh!

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Bear with me, because this may sound a bit naive -
but what majors/minors/path in general should i take if I'm
interested in brain-computer interfacing, VR, and CS?</p>

<p>I keep reading that simply a BioE major is too weak to get a job in anything,
Would EECS also work?</p>

<p>Or is this the sort of thing where any tried and true major will be enough to get me into the right job
in which case I should just go either CS or EECS or ME? Which brings me to another
possibility - ME for robotics. I hear MEs have a better time curriculum-wise and
aren't stressed to the breaking point during their undergrad years.</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>The general perception seems to be that a BS BioE degree is worthless. All the real BioE jobs go to those with graduate degrees, especially PhDs. I would go with EECS for undergrad and specialize in grad school. And if it turns out you don't want to do BCI, you still have a broad, versatile degree to do many other things.</p>
