<p>many people have said that going to schools like johns hopkins and duke for a bme degree isn't good for job options as bme is not a real degree (engineering wise). I was wondering what one can do with a bme degree?</p>
<p>Have you heard of the da Vinci® Surgical System? How do you think surgical instruments are made?</p>
<p>it’s a highly specialized form of engineering…that being said you absolutely cannot go wrong with any kind of engineering degree</p>
<p>i’ve heard of that instrument…but ideally what i’ve also heard that there are too many bme’s in the market. soon enough job prospects for bmes are going down the drain, especially with this economy. so if i major in bme, i am fine?</p>
<p>Students graduating from Hopkins BME (and generally any top engineering program) are * extremely * talented quantitative specialists, problem solvers and creative thinkers. They don’t have problems getting jobs as they are qualified for almost anything from wall street to academia. These candidates are highly sought after by dozens of firms, including the us government.</p>
<p>People with degrees in engineering, physics, math, and other hard scientists are highly sought after because these people are very talented and creative thinkers and valuable to almost any industry.</p>
<p>I’m a senior Hopkins BME and I can attest to what WealthofInformation and YanksDolphin have said. Many of our graduates go to to graduate school or medical school, but there are tons of people who get offers from companies ranging from medical devices to investment banking. There are constantly companies coming to Hopkins and speaking in the BME building about internships and job opportunities. I thought this was standard at all schools until I did a summer programs with BME students from around the country and some people told me that some of these companies wouldn’t even recruit at their schools. So in terms of getting a BME-related job, there are a ton of propects, but because of your background as an engineer, there are even more opportunities in many different industries</p>
<p>is johns hopkins alone in this aspect? what about colleges like duke and university of california at san diego which are 2 and 3 respectively in bme?</p>
<p>Georgia Tech is ranked 2 in bme, dark ninja. I know their job placement after school is pretty good. They give a lot of co-op opportunities and internships for all types of engineering. However, I am willing to bet that Hopkins grads get employed by the best of the best.</p>
<p>My question is…which TYPE of degree matters. Is undergrad enough? Or would graduate school be advised for BME?</p>
