Grad school for Bioengineering with bachelors in CompE?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Students with a Computer Engineering (CompE) degree can successfully gain admission to graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering. The discussion confirms that having a CompE background does not inherently disadvantage applicants compared to those with an Electrical Engineering (EE) degree. A specific example is provided of a graduate who transitioned from CompE to a Biomedical master's program, illustrating the feasibility of this academic path.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Biomedical Engineering principles
  • Familiarity with Computer Engineering fundamentals
  • Knowledge of graduate school application processes
  • Awareness of interdisciplinary studies in engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Research graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering that accept Computer Engineering degrees
  • Explore interdisciplinary courses that bridge Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering
  • Investigate the application requirements for Biomedical Engineering master's programs
  • Connect with alumni from Computer Engineering who have pursued Biomedical Engineering
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduates in Computer Engineering, prospective graduate students in Biomedical Engineering, and academic advisors guiding students on interdisciplinary career paths.

Can you get into a graduate program for biomedical engineering with a computer engineering degree? would you be at a big disadvantage to someone with an electrical engineering degree?

I have a friend who graduated with me in Computer Engineering and is currently in a Biomedical masters program.
So yes you can get into a program, and I don't see why you would be disadvantaged
