<p>I’m also interested in the genetics field, and was wondering the same question. Since the school I will be attending does not offer this major I’m a little puzzled on what to declare as my major. I’m interest in genetic counseling as a career and what I gather from graduate school’s websites is that you take a mix of classes such as math, chemistry, biology, psychology, and of course genetics if available. Most enter with biology degrees, but it is not a requirement to my understanding. To my knowledge only one school in my state (WI) offers genetics has an undergraduate major, and it also offers the genetic counseling program for graduates. I’ve been thinking of attending one of the UC’s for graduate, but I know the state school offers full tuition, plus stipend if you are offered a TA position. I did find in a quick google search of job positions for genetic counseling that CA had more positions than the WI. This may change though by the time I graduate in hopefully four years. I’m thinking of a Clinical Lab Science major in the option of Cytotechnology. Hopefully this helps you because I haven’t been able to find much. I’m hoping at orientation someone can guide me in the right direction. I’m also setting up a job shadow at a local hospital just to make sure I want to go this path. I’m currently enrolled as a undeclared major, and from what I can tell some of the classes I need are already filled and the first freshman orientation hasn’t even been held. I wish I would’ve discovered the career as a genetic counselor sooner so that I could be at a school with the genetics major.</p>
