BME vs Traditional Engineering degree

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>Hi, I'm a current Freshman at Rutgers - New Brunswick, School of Engineering. </p>

<p>I am undeclared but looking towards Biomedical Engineering as my major by the end of the year. However, there are many theories surrounding this major as being useless as just an undergraduate BS degree.</p>

<p>I was wondering if there is more of a prospect to getting a job by doing an MBA after a BS in BME, or rather doing a traditional engineering degree with a minor in biomed/biology? </p>

<p>Also, are there enough jobs to procure job experience for a BS in BME in order to get an MBA? Because according to many people that i've talked to, it just seems impossible to an extent. </p>

<p>Really need some real advice on this, please put in your comments good or bad, im willing to listen.</p>

<p>i know someone who got a bs in biomedical engineering (graduated in 2009 from rutgers) and currently has a job. he plans to attend graduate school eventually because his company will pay for it. if you want a higher-tier job, like a leadership/management position, then a masters degree will be necessary in most cases regarding engineering.</p>

<p>sorry if my response was a little vague, i hope it helped.</p>
