<p>BME is one of the LEAST lucrative engineering degrees with a BS, whether from JHU or elsewhere. The degrees are not accredited and considered as “engineering-light” by most employers. The programs are generally a hodgepodge of a little of everything with no true specialty. Without a PhD in bioengineering you essentially have no real marketable skills. MIT decided long ago against creating a BME department because of the absence of any “foundation” science to support the discipline unlike all other engineering specialties. If you are interested in working for big pharma, a biotech firm or medical device company, you are much better off with a ChemE, materials science, EE, CS or MechE degree.</p>
