Kaylee AddedTuesday, October 31, 2017 at 1:25 AM Switching career paths entirely. Thinking of a master's in engineering? I have a degree in physiology, but know I am for sure switching to engineering. I don't feel that I'm all that interested in biomedical engineering though. Would a second bachelor's be worth it? Or should I pursue a master's degree? What is the difference between having a bachelor's or a master's in engineering?

I would recommend talking with someone at the college you are interested in. Most engineering departments have a Graduate Director--that would be a good person. Some graduate engineering programs would accept you into their program with a BS in physiology but others would not. So, that is one question to get answered. If a graduate program does accept you, they will probably want you to take 1-2 years of undergraduate engineering classes before starting on graduate classes. Similar jobs are available to both BS and MS grads. With an MS you would be able to focus on a sub-specialty a little more. With both degrees you have the option of doing a research project. Good luck!
