<p>Hi, does anyone have a list of the top <em>undergraduate</em> schools for biomedical engineering? Thank you.</p>
<p>mit, duke, jhu, ucsd, gatech, and stanford; just top of my head</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins has the number one undergraduate biomedical engineering program. I believe Duke's Pratt, MIT, Gtech, Stanford, etc.... have terrific top programs as well.</p>
<p>Also Rice, U of Mich and U of Penn</p>
<p>What can you do with a BS in BME? What kinda BME-related jobs can grads from these top schools get upon graduating with a BS in BME degree? or do most of them go to grad schools?</p>
<p>case western</p>
<p>yeah, case western is top 10 too.
I think a good portion of BME students go to med school, another good portion goes to grad school, and the rest will find jobs with bioresearch firms and help them conduct research.</p>

<p>A bachelors in biomedical engineering is decently versatile. Some choose to do a masters in engineering (this is actually really common in bme), others will do a PhD (research based) others do a medical degree. The majority though enter the workforce directly (or right after a class based masters and work in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotech companies etc. There is work in high tech manufacturing as well. Overall its a great degree (and the engineering mindset is valuable in a variety of circumstances). Most public universities have a biomedical engineering department. Best of luck.</p>
<p>I know this thread asked about the best BME schools but I do agree with belevitt and what to expect with how much education you have. From research that Ive done it seems that alot of companies right now are looking for candidates to specialize in areas of BME because a B.S. is so common. You can still get a job with a B.S. but it will probably be in medical devices or maintaining medical equipment. With a masters you can get into bioinstrumentation, biomedical imaging, biomechanics etc. etc. depending on your interest. A degree in BME is versatile and is becoming more in demand, mainly because of the baby boomers of the 1950s and how technology is always growing. Im working on my B.S. in BME right now and noticed that on avg. graduate programs are only 36 hrs more for an M.S., which isnt that bad. I found these two links interesting about BME: The</a> Whitaker Foundation: 2000 Annual Report -- International Conference on Biomedical Engineering Education (Summit)
