UMich vs. WUSTL

<p>Hi everyone, if I were to study Biomedical Engineering, which university will be a better choice? In terms of future career prospects, school reputation, etc.. Thks!</p>

<p>Will depend on what do you want do after graduation? </p>

<p>Nevermind. Umich is superior in every aspect.</p>

<p>Wustl Biomedical eng. is a lot better (one of the top 5-6 in the states)</p>

<p>That's what I thought. I read somewhere that WUSTL's biomed engine faculty is good. Do you think employers care about that in the future? Or will they prefer UMich cos it's a more well-known uni in the states..</p>

<p>datadriven,
That is not true according USNEWS</p>

<p><a href="http://www.infozee.com/channels/ms/usa/bioengineering-biomedical-engineering-rankings.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.infozee.com/channels/ms/usa/bioengineering-biomedical-engineering-rankings.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I believe he is confuse between these Uni.
University of Washington and Washington University in St. Louis</p>

<p>College2go, that is an old ranking (Fu foundation appeared twice.)
The USNews 2007 graudate ranking put WUSTL at No. 12, a five slots above the one you just cited. It shows the rapid progress of the program.</p>

<p>the link must be very old or a typo..,
care to share the latest survey?</p>

<p>the 2004 for BioMedical engineering was
1. Johns Hopkins University (MD)<br>
2. Georgia Institute of Technology<br>
University of California?San Diego (Jacobs)
4. University of Washington<br>
5. University of Pennsylvania<br>
6. Case Western Reserve University (OH)<br>
Duke University (NC)<br>
8. Massachusetts Institute of Technology<br>
9. Boston University<br>
10. Rice University (TX)<br>
University of Michigan?Ann Arbor
12. Northwestern University (IL)<br>
University of California?Berkeley/University of California?San Francisco<br>
14. Washington University in St. Louis<br>
15. University of Pittsburgh<br>
University of Texas?Austin<br>
University of Utah<br>
18. Columbia University (Fu Foundation) (NY)<br>
University of Virginia<br>
20. Arizona State University<br>
California Institute of Technology<br>
University of Southern California (Andrew and Erna Viterbi)<br>
Vanderbilt University (TN)</p>

<p>But still behind UMich. Biomedical has interaction with different areas i.e. Mechanical, computer, electrical, etc where Michigan excels and WashU sucks.</p>
