<p>Im a rising senior, and interested in UNC atmosphere-wise, though academic wise im not sure what UNC is all about. Im not set on a major/field of study, but my two main interests are biology and computer science. So i guess my possible majors are comp. sci./comp. eng., or maybe bio/BME/chem E
I know this is a pretty vague question, but given what I've said, would UNC be a good choice for my interests?</p>
<p>Carolina has excellent bio, chem, and english programs. Im not so sure about comp sci tho, might wanna check on state for that. I have heard of alot of carolina chemists getting prestigious awards and positions. UNC is also a top research school, so you should be fine with bme. I think they also collaborate with nc state for some bme programs.</p>
<p>Carolina's Comp Sci program is also ranked in Top 20 in the nation alongside Duke and Penn (NC State is nowhere to be found).</p>

<p>I've heard great things about comp sci, and read that article. We don't have an engineering major, so keep that in mind! We're also really good with Bio. I'd say we're really strong in everything except maybe physics (I only say that because I haven't heard much about it), and the fact that we lack engineering is a big con for some people.</p>
<p>NC States engineering program+UNC's bio/med program=VERY good bme program</p>
<p>How does that program work with NC state for BME?
Could anyone link a site to me with information or briefly explain the details of how it works?</p>
<p>UNC/NCSU</a> Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering</p>
<p>^ there</p>
<p>From my understanding, the joint BME program is geared more towards grad students. At the undergrad level, you can (at UNC, not NCSU), major in Engineering and Applied Sciences with a BME track.</p>
