Computer Engineering BS, Biomedical Engineering MS?

<p>I've been searching through this site, looking at the many forums on biomedical engineering and I have come to two conclusions: BS in BME will possibly leave me with limited job opportunities and a BS in another engineering field before a MS in BME is the way to go. I've fallen in love with BME because it combines my favorite subjects: engineering,medicine, and biology. I know most take BME before going off to medical school, but I have no interest in becoming a doctor. But, my interest in BME has turned into an obsession, and now I can no longer imagine doing any other kind of engineering without some kind of biology/chemistry in it. The only engineering discipline I can see myself in is computer engineering so I can have a job between BS and MS.</p>

<p>So, would a BS in Computer Engineering, with BME or life sciences electives, prepare me for a MS in BME in the future?
Is there a more suitable engineering BS that will prepare me for BME?
What fields of BME will certain engineering BS prepare me for?
And is there any chance a BS in BME will lead me to success?
Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>why not chemE? that might give you a base if you want to go to more molecular bme
or mechE, that might work if you’re more into the prosthetic side of things</p>

<p>i’m sure compE would apply to some parts of bme, but i’m not too sure that it would give you the right background for a full fledged bme masters. </p>

<p>it depends on where you want to go I think, and what sort of things you want to work on. either way, you should probably take some bio classes or even a minor. i’m personally debating about doing chemE with a minor in bioengineering at berkeley (if i get in lol i wish)</p>

<p>do take whatever i say with a grain of salt lol, I’m just a hs senior myself and i’ve been asking about major choice too.</p>
