southern schools with BME

<p>Trying to find schools closer to home with biomedical engineering programs. ABET accreditation a plus. Also offers a good computer science program. Freedom to take electives of own choice in other departments to fulfill degree requirements.</p>

<p>Depending on how strong your profile is: Duke, GT, UNC, U Alabama at Birmingham, etc.</p>

<p>What sort of “south” do you mean? Might want to look at Rice.</p>

<p>the University of Tennessee</p>

<p>Just to let you know, Clemson does not have an accredited ABET program in bioengineering, I just found that out today by checking the ABET program. You might want to contact their department to find out if an ABET accreditation is coming or not.</p>

<p>Oh, aibarr, if only. Been wanting him to go to Rice since before he was born. Long story.</p>

<p>MSState-are you from Mississippi State? Do you know anything about their program?</p>

<p>UAB is on the list, hoping to visit soon. Heard great things about their graduate program, but don’t know anything about the undergraduate school, campus life.</p>

<p>Thanks for the ABET accreditation info, Pierre. Didn’t know that. They are on the Whittaker list, so I assumed they were accredited. Will check into that. </p>

<p>Also, looking for schools that offer a BSE, Bachelor of Science in Engineering, rather than BS in Engineering. What is the difference, and how important is that when looking for jobs?</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, guys. Keep it coming!</p>

<p>Montegut, there is no difference between a BSE and a BS in engineering, a BSE is just a fancy name for the same degree</p>
