<p>I am currently enrolled in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins and am wondering whether this major is significantly different from, say, a Biology major with a Chemistry minor. I am considering transferring so I am looking at schools with strong engineering and if they don't have ChemBE I would like to be able to take a major that is in most ways comparable to it. I would like to get a more broad education rather than a specifically chemical or biological one. Any advice would be great!</p>
<p>While there may be some similarities, chemistry and biology have worse job and career prospects than chemical engineering.</p>
<p>Those are two very different majors. Basically it’s engineering vs. science. It seems that Biochemical Engineering and etc. is essentially chemical engineering with a bit of bio added in. (Say bio reactors, enzymes, etc.) </p>
<p>If you can tell us more of what you’re looking for it would be helpful. I believe that Maryland has a ChemBE program.</p>
<p>I think I’d rather be in a program that has more of an engineering aspect, because I do enjoy understanding physics and how it can explain everything. I’m also good at math and chemistry is coming along just fine. Basically I’d like a solid background knowledge in all of chemistry, physics, and biology haha which is a bit of a stretch but that’s what I’d like so I can find what I want. I would just like to know if there are any comparable majors that could give me that kind of major.</p>
