I am confused between two universities

Hello Rezaei, I am a final year instrumentation student. I applied for my masters in electrical engineering and got offered from four universities. I aspire to have a career in the biomedical field. I am confused between two universities. Missouri University of Science and Technology and Wayne State University. Going by the ranking and course strength, Missouri stands way ahead of Wayne. But after inquiring, I found that Missouri doesn't provide courses in the area of biomedical engineering. While the program Wayne has decent number of courses in biomedical engineering but has a low ranking and also the jobs are less. So I wanted to know if it is possible to have career in biomedical side even without having any course of biomedical in masters(or) is it better to go with the university having some courses in biomedical eng.?

    Hello Isabel,
    
    As far as I know, Missouri S&T has just started offering a Biomedical Engineering Minor degree to undergraduate students. If you decide to come to Missouri S&T, you may be able to take some of the courses offered through this minor program. Overall, I believe if you would like to get a career in Biomedical field, it is better to take some courses relevant to Biomedical Engineering, given that your background is instrumentation.
