Staying at undergrad institution but different major for PhD

[pali123]

I am considering a CHE program at my undergrad institution (BME) at UT Austin. What do you think? Is this in some way also considered to be academic incest? I really like the CHE program and I love the city since my family is here. My dad is also really sick with cancer so I would like to be near him for support. 

 

Thanks!

I guess it comes down to what exactly what you want to do after grad school. Tbh if I was a hiring committee and you explain your situation when you applied for a job I wouldn't count UT Austin against you. Plus its a great school. But I'm definitely not the best person to give you advice.

You only have one family. Go with your gut on this one.
