Genetics
A heredity-and-genomics path toward research, genetic counseling support tracks, and diagnostics (with further credentials).
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Genetics grads must separate research curiosity from clinical counseling claims. Diagnostics and research labs hire molecular competence. Show a genomics/molecular project. Counseling roles need proper training pathways. Ethical communication about uncertainty matters. Campus and industry screens still reward ownership stories over certificate lists. Bring one artifact — lab notebook excerpt, batch record note, case log, or internship report — you can defend in depth.
