What colleges in Texas have a good biomedical engineering degree program?
I am interested in pursuing either a Bachelor's or Master's of Engineering in Biomedicine. I am between Texas A&M University and University of Texas at San Antonio. My dream school would be Texas A&M, but I have a friend who is majoring in Biomedical Engineering at UTSA as a junior. I am looking for details on both programs to help me make a decision next year as a senior. #engineering #biomedical-engineering #stem

Hi Mirna,
US News has a trustworthy college ranking list for colleges and majors. They ranked Rice University in Texas as 7th for Biomedical Engineering in all US universities.

Here are the rankings of UTSA and Texas A&M - College Station

Of course there is more to deciding which college would be best for you other than rankings. Also check out all three college websites for their specific biomedical programs for undergraduates. Their websites will tell you more about what sets each school apart from each other. There are also other factors such as location, cost, acceptance rate, etc. Invest the time doing some research on USNews and each college's official prospective student website and it'll help you decide what will be best for you. In the meantime do whatever you can in your senior year to be the type of application that each college would gladly accept.

I started out in Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M then eventually moved into Mechanical Engineering. I think Rice and Texas A&M University have the best programs. I would chase your dreams and try for Texas A&M and not just follow in your friends footsteps.
