What is a major that would fit me?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I am a sophomore in HS so I have some time to decide but I like to plan ahead. I love science and am taking advanced science classes that exceed the graduation requirement. I am also extremely interested in Medical things. I like to research both. I thought of Biomed engineering but am not sure. Is there a medical research job or something like that that involves engineering?</p>

<p>My University offers a BS in Physics with an emphasis in Medical Physics.</p>

<p>I’m not saying to go to my school, I’m just offering a suggestion. You can read more about it here:</p>

<p>[Marshall</a> University - Physics](<a href=“http://www.marshall.edu/physics/bs_medicaldegree.asp]Marshall”>http://www.marshall.edu/physics/bs_medicaldegree.asp)</p>

<p>There’s also Biophysics:</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about BME, so I can’t answer that part of the questions.</p>

<p>Bioengineering is pretty awesome; I’m a lot like you and that’s my major.
Try to volunteer at a hospital to get a feel for the climate, and if you’d rather be a doctor or an engineer.</p>

<p>you’ll need to take biology, chem and physics in high school, just to be safe so you can get accepted to any university. </p>

<p>I would suggest going the biomedical route if you find a school that offers it as a bachelors degree. if not, take physics and within your major of physics you can take health physics courses. </p>

<p>I say the biomedical engineering route because i think you will have an easier time finding jobs afterwards. you can stop after your undergrad, whereas with a physics degree, you may need to go to grad school where you spend another 3 years focusing on health physics. this is because the undergrad degree is more general physics, you only take a few class towards the health sector…even though all physics courses will be related, only a few will be specific towards the health industry, you may want to minor in biology or physiology if you go the physics route… whereas, the biomedical engineering route allows you to focus on health stuff right from the beginning.</p>
