I want to study biomedical engineering but my university does not offer it

Hello, good evening. You see, I'm having a dilemma right now. I want to be a biomedical engineer in the future but no universities have it as an undergraduate program. Which other engineer courses can I take to become a biomedical engineer? Do I take Chemical or Mechanical? Please help.

    Hi Nikka, 
    
    Mechanical engineering provides a broad, comprehensive education that will prepare you for any engineering or analytical field. You can complement the major with a minor in biological sciences through which you can gain exposure and perspective on health and physiological conditions.  Also, use your summers as opportunities to seek internships in the biomedical field.  Sometimes the best route into a career is not just what you know, but who you know!
