<p>So what do you all think of their new BME major? Do you think it will become strong? I have an interest in Biomedical Engineering, and may pursue it if it appears to be a strong program. I've currently declared my major as Biochemistry and am doing pre-med. </p>
<p>Is BME good if you want to get an MD/Ph.D?</p>
<p>Almost 300 views and no responses? Clearly, you guys are interested in this, too. </p>
<p>Bump. :P</p>
<p>The undergraduate program is relatively new, and to be honest not very strong compared with the rest of the Engineering department. Also, space is limited to only 20 per class.</p>
<p>If your goal is to become a biomedical engineer, you are better off majoring in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, Materials, etc depending on your interest and minoring in Biomechanics.</p>
<p>With all of that being said do what interests you</p>
<p>Here is the recommended schedule before you enter the program (Apply to join in your Sophomore Year)

<p>Biomedical engineering is a new but a hugely growing field. If that is what you want to do, major in it.</p>
