<p>Okay, so I've gotten into JHU BME, but I have muchos preguntas. First off, how rigid is the program? Can I double major easily, or will it be a pain in the butt?? Also, does anyone (who's in BME) feel like left out of the rest of JHU at all?? does that make sense?</p>
<p>Anyways, thanks to anyone who responds!</p>
<p>The BME program is fairly rigid in terms of the number of courses you are required to take. The BME core is 29 credits and your engineering electives amount to 27 credits. You then have to take 52 credits of math, physics, chemistry, biology and computing. This already puts you at 108 credits. You also need to take 18 credits of humanities to graduate. Within the BME major, however, there is a lot of flexibilty in terms of what focus areas you want to concentrate in. </p>
<p>In terms of double majoring, doing so with another engineering field shouldn't be too difficult. It was fairly common with the old curriculum and I think that double majoring in the major that corresponds to your BME track would be do-able. As for double majoring with a humanities or science major, it will be difficult (BME is difficult enough on its own), but it should also be feasible. You'll need to sit down and plan out how you're going to fit in the requirements over the fours years and you may have to overload or take summer classes to get all the credits in depending on what your second major is. Coming in with a lot of AP credit will definitely help when it comes to furfilling your requirements. Some of the KSAS majors have relatively few requirements (like Economics, which only requires 10 Econ classes for the major) while others are more rigid and will be much more difficult to double major in (like IR and Public Health)</p>
<p>As for BMEs feeling "left out of the rest of JHU", I really don't know what you mean... BME is just another undergraduate major on campus. Students live together, work together and hang out together regardless of major. Being a BME doesn't mean that you're isolated from the rest of your class.</p>
<p>Cool, thanks so much!
Yeah, I was thinking about double majoring in BME and Spanish...so we'll have to see how that's going to work out....</p>
<p>muchas preguntas?</p>
<p>Yeah, I swear that I've taken five years of Spanish. I suppose I can make an excuse by saying that I was typing super fast??? Or not....</p>
<p>Yeah. I'm in the same boat as you and come IB span exam this year, I'll be in a bit of trouble too because I think so much faster than I write. It just thought that it was very ironic you wanted to major in spanish and then messed up the masculine/feminine thing. ?)</p>
<p>haha yeah....but then again, we all make stupid mistakes typing english, which happens to be my first language, so yeah...i type spanish a lot on-line with my fluent spanish buddies, so i guess i just sort idk...hit the wrong keys??? it is funny, though....i might have to re-examine this whole spanish thing??? :-) :-)</p>
