Carli, Prince Frederick AddedMonday, April 4, 2016 at 10:13 PM Is one degree more favorable than the other? Hi! I am currently a graduating high school senior and I am making my decision on the college I want to attend. One of my top schools has biomedical engineering, but the other one doesn't. If I went to the second school, then I would study biochemistry or mechanical engineering. Is one degree more favorable than the others.?

Mechanical engineering prepares you to design devices as an engineer in industry, whereas biochemistry prepares you to do research on biomolecules. If your interest is in the intersection, you can choose either major and still take the core courses from both majors and better prepare for your future career. Ying-Ja
