Hello, internet! I graduated with a BA in general biology from a liberal arts college (Carleton) and have spent the subsequent year doing research in regenerative medicine at the FDA. This experience, as well as years of undergrad research, have forced me to acknowledge that the research questions I am most interested in working on would require an MS or PhD in bioengineering (more specifically, tissue engineering). Unfortunately, the math and physics requirements for my undergrad major were minimal (I stopped at Calc I and intro physics) and I am sure that I need to take a lot of undergrad classes to be eligible for any bioengineering programs. Also, I have a history of being proficient-- but not "a natural"-- at math.
Is this an impossible dream? Does anyone have ideas about how to go about this without spending a fortune?
My current ideas are: 1) Enroll at a university that will offer a second bachelor's degree, 2) Enroll at a university that will let me take all of the bioengineering requirements without pursuing a degree, 3) Find a more realistic goal.
Any scrap of advice would be greatly appreciated!!
