<p>I don't know which major to put, and I'm planning to submit tomorrow. I couldn't fit it in the title, but I don't know what bioengineering: bioinformatics is either. Help!</p>
<p>This is where you learn the importance of the General Catalog. ;) Look [url=<a href="http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/curric/BENG.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/curric/BENG.html]here[/url</a>] for a description of the various BioE majors. In a nutshell, BioE is what you’d normally think of as a biomedical engineer; biotechnology has a stronger chemical and molecular-level emphasis; bioinformatics is basically BioE plus Computer Science (you can’t directly enter bioinformatics though – you have to enter as BioE or Biotech).</p>
