<p>Is it possible for BME students to double major in electrical/computer engineering like you can at other schools like duke? and will doing so take more than 4 years?</p>
<p>No, I’m pretty sure that would be impossible to do. It’s not only impossible but completely pointless. If you want to apply EE to BME, you can take classes and do research related to EE. But doing an entirely new major would not be feasible.</p>
<p>Ignore what daiviko above said. Both me and my brother double majored in BME/EE at JHU and completed in 4 years by taking a reasonable courseload each semester. It is an excellent combination (especially if you’re interested in Biomedical Instrumentation, Brain Computer Interfaces, Prostheses, Medical Robotics, etc.) as it gives you depth in both areas crucial to this type of research. Don’t get me wrong, its tough, but it definitely open’s a lot of opportunities! </p>
<p>Here is the JHU ECE Webpage for Undergraduate students. It shows the students and their major. Note how a lot of them say wither BME/EE or BME/CE. These are all students that are double majoring in BME and ECE.

<p>Feel free to ask me for more information, I would love to help. </p>

<p>i second what vader1990 said. </p>
<p>although it’s gonna be tough, it can definitely be done</p>
<p>It’s definitely possible but again, not easy by any means. It was a lot more common (and easier) until the BME curriculum was changed about 5-6 years ago. I would advise you to think about what you want to get out of the second major and whether you can get the same thing or not by taking extra EE classes.</p>
<p>It is definitely possible, my roommate and I already do it and it is great because bme sucks and EE is awesome so it gives you a chance to be happy :)</p>
