<p>Is there anybody here who can tell me what they specifically did in a biomedical engineering program in college? What are the main topics? Is there lots of lab work? How much biology is it? What is the difficulty level? What would you do for a job after college? Do some people get masters in like business, law, or economics after? Any info would be helpful. </p>
<p>I'm deciding between biomedical engineering and economics. I'm good at math, biology, and economics. Both have similar starting salaries. I'm just having trouble picking which one to do.</p>
<p>Biomedical engineering is best pursued at the graduate level. Just having a B.S. in BME will not be enough for good job oppurtunities. I recommend studying a similar field of electrical or mechanical engineering and then getting a M.S. in BME.</p>
<p>I im not interested in any other types of engineering though. Why would it be better to do those types of engineering if you just want to do BME?</p>
<p>Then either major in BME and accept that you must go to grad school after undergrad or do some research and figure out an alternative.</p>
<p>From the questions you ask, seem you more interested in the name than anything else. You can go to any school that offer the website and pull up their curriculum. There you can find out main topics, how much lab, how much bio, etc. As far as difficulty, it is still an engineering major. All engineering branches are difficult. Can’t really say one branch of engineering is harder than the other.</p>
<p>This link will probably answer your job question better and why to major in mechanical and electrical engineering instead.

<p>If you decide after four years that you no longer want to go to graduate school you’ll have a degree that will be useful in getting you a job.</p>
<p>How can a person who majors in BME take the same classes when getting a M.S. as someone who has never done any BME. Is BME have a lot of the same classes as other engineering courses?</p>
<p>BME is a type of Mechanical engineering. Most of the time the degree is found in the ME department. ME is such a broad versatile degree that you can nearly get a ms in any engineering field with a ME BS. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>BME also has a lot of EE and MSE elements. In many schools it is its own department.</p>
