I'm not sure what you're asking, or if you're asking anything at all.

You're an electrical engineering major who's trying to decide if you want to go into BME or bioengineering or business for a master's. Before deciding on anything, you should check out the specific master's programs you're interested into see if your undergraduate work qualifiies you to get in.

Hello,

Congratulations on your recent graduation! Pursuing a master's program is a great way to continue your education and further develop your skills in a specific field.

As an electrical engineering major, you have a variety of options for master's programs. Biomedical engineering and bioengineering are both growing fields with a lot of potential for innovation and impact on society. These programs would allow you to apply your knowledge of electrical engineering to the healthcare industry and potentially work on cutting-edge technologies such as medical devices, imaging systems, and prosthetics.

On the other hand, a business-related master's program could also be a valuable choice, especially if you are interested in the management and operations side of engineering. This could open up career opportunities in project management, consulting, or even entrepreneurship.

My advice would be to research each program in detail and consider your long-term career goals. Think about which program aligns best with your interests and will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to achieve your goals. You could also consider reaching out to professionals in each field to gain insights and advice.

Best of luck in your decision-making process! Whatever you choose, I'm sure you will excel and make a valuable contribution in your chosen field.
