I’m having a difficult time finding information online. Are there any schools developing programs for this? Should i start off with a broad base like Biology or Biological Engineering, and then continue to grad school to focus on my specific interests?
If it helps, a broad view of my goal is to one day engineer and design cells to produce/administer medicine. This would be nano biological engineering, right?
Thanks.
“nano biological engineering”
I don’t think there’s a major with that exact name…there’s bioengineering, biomedical engineering, and biochemical engineering. What matters is the function, not the title.

After some more googling, I found exactly what I was looking for. Medical/molecular nanotechnology. I’m aware there might not be a major with these specific names, but these are certainly fields of science that exist. What I’m interested in, is the education required to work in these fields.
^ Sorry, didn’t mean to detract from the center of the question…Just clarifying the term for major-selection purposes at colleges.
A non-engineering degree might require a PhD to do significant work in the field. From the links I posted above, you can see that some of those eng. degrees will allow to enter the area you’re interested, as well as to do significant work with only a B.S. or a master’s degree.
