<p>I want to major in genetic engineering.what schools are good for this major???
(at least top 50)</p>
<p>MIT is always a good choice! If it is possible, of course.</p>
<p>Actually, some top ones for that field are- University of California-Davis, and Stanford University. Ivy is tough, as usual.</p>
<p>This is a list of labs at various institutions that deal with synthetic biology. This is a good place to start looking.
[Synthetic</a> Biology: Graduate](<a href=“http://syntheticbiology.org/Graduate.html]Synthetic”>http://syntheticbiology.org/Graduate.html)</p>
<p>Wisconsin has several areas that have a focus on syn bio. Bioengineering, Chemistry, and biochem</p>
<p>[Welcome</a> to the Microbial Synthetic Biology Lab! - GLBRC Microbial Synthetic Biology Lab](<a href=“http://misynbio.glbrc.wisc.edu/index.php/Welcome_to_the_Microbial_Synthetic_Biology_Lab!]Welcome”>http://misynbio.glbrc.wisc.edu/index.php/Welcome_to_the_Microbial_Synthetic_Biology_Lab!)</p>
<p>you don’t want to major in genetic engineering.</p>
<p>Why not? Seems like the wave of the future.</p>
<p>lol, genetic engineering. wow. Why, do you want to be a technician in a high tech manufacturing plant churning out genetically modified crop of babies? :hehe ignorant comment i kno:</p>
<p>Genetics and individually tailored prescriptions to treat ailments according to your unique genetic “fingerprint” will be the wave of the future. def.</p>
<p>Seriously, from better food crops to biofuels and better drugs for people it seems like a world of opportunity. We have been doing it for many years on a larger macro level through plant and animal breeding, etc. This just fine tunes the process and shortens it from generations to years. Of course safeguards need to be in place. Don’t want to create “The Fly”.</p>

<p>A strong background in genetics prepares people for careers in academic research, industry r and d, scientific consulting, scientific journalism, patent law and yes high tech manufacturing. If the individual wanted to, they would be well prepared for medical school, nursing, public health, dental school or pharmacy school. This field is at the forefront of green technology (biofuels, bioremediation) and is the driver of the health care industry which accounts for over a fifth of the nations economy and one of the few fields poised to grow.</p>
<p>haha. it’s so great, now tell me a prominent school that offers “genetic engineering” as an undergraduate major.</p>
<p>Genetic engineering is a term that refers to recombinant DNA technology eg. cloning, splicing, genomics, synthetic biology. This has been the driving force behind biological drugs such as insulin. This technology is a core part of molecular biology, biomedical engineering, microbiology and other fields. Nearly every prominent school offers these disciplines.</p>
<p>so it’s not “genetic engineering” major exactly is it?</p>
<p>“genetic engineering” is just a common term that covers a number of specialties as Belevitt indicates. What’s your damage?</p>

<p>Would this even be an undergraduate major? It sounds more like a research area than an undergraduate major.</p>
<p>Look into Shadow Moses Island University. I hear the Fox Archipelago is nice this time of year.</p>
