Engineering or Business

<p>

</p>

<p>Depends. A BBA could land you a job out of college that sets you up for MBA admissions better than would a BSE. So if MBA is the end goal, it really depends.</p>

<p>pro28, I never said med school would happen with a 3.2…I said that a 3.2 was necessary to transfer into biomedical engineering, I plan on getting over that</p>

<p>Definitely engineering. I am biased though :)</p>

<p>It is fairly common for people with BSE’s to go back and get their MBA after a few years in the industry. Engineers are analytical people that have great quantitative skills for an MBA. </p>

<p>If you really want to do some business as an undergrad, look into IOE. IOE isn’t one of the “pure” engineering disciplines in that you don’t actually design tangible things. IOE does offer a lot more flexibility in their schedule than the other disciplines though. It is also common for people to get a MSE through the EGL program, which will expose you to great business experience (I am not doing the EGL program, as I’m a transfer student and it would be a lot of extra credits).</p>

<p>Also, about BME…</p>

<p>I was told early on in my engineering career that it was more beneficial to take one of the more traditional engineering tracts as un undergrad (ChemE, ME, EE) and then do BME as a graduate student. </p>

<p>This came from a school that didn’t offer BME at all, so take that for what it is worth. I think it does have some merit. You will also want to note that BME is most useful if you have a PhD, and the salaries for the Michigan BME graduates are fairly unimpressive (if that is something that matters to you). It isn’t a knock on how much they know, but I think that it is a field that sounds good in practice, but you don’t really need a degree in BME to do BME.</p>
