I agree that a more general Engineering major will get equivalent if not more career options than a specific BME major.

In Texas, UT-Austin and Rice University have very prestigious bio-medical undergraduate programs. Rice is located next to the largest medical research center in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Medical_Center
