Programs Dual Degree - Computer Science & Biomedical Engineering?

Click For Summary
Pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering can enhance marketability in Research and Development roles, particularly in fields that integrate technology and healthcare. While some suggest a double major as a more efficient alternative, the value of having distinct degrees lies in the specialized knowledge and skills gained from each discipline. Transferring to a school that offers Biomedical Engineering is an option if the current institution lacks this program. Ultimately, the decision should consider the potential career benefits versus the time and effort required, with a master's degree also being a viable path for further specialization.

Hey everyone,
I am currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science and am about half way through. I am really enjoying the program and want to finish it. I have also taken an interest in Biomedical Engineering and was considering starting on a BS in this area after I finished my degree in Computer Science.
I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be beneficial at all for me to have a Degree in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering? My ideal job would be to work in the field Research and Development somehow.
Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommy

Not really sure why you'd want to get two Bachelor's degrees. Just double major or something.
 
The school I'm going to now doesn't offer the Biomedical degree. I suppose I could transfer to one of the other schools I'm looking at though. Really my question is how much of a benefit would there be to having a degree in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering? Like would I be more marketable in a certain field of Biomedical Engineering or should I just focus on one and possibly go for a masters instead?
Thanks,
Tommy
