Re: where can i find good colleges for genetics in united states?

First, there are very few places that grant a degree called Genetic
Engineering.  If you wish to do research dealing with the manipulation of
genetic material you would generally get a Ph.D. in Genetics or even Cell
Biology.  There are any number of schools in the United States and Texas
where you can get a graduate degree in genetics.  Generally when you are
looking for a graduate school you need to be looking for someone doing work
in your area of interest.  Do you want to work with plants, animals,
microorganisms,... ??.  Of course, you'll be working with microorganisms no
matter which organism you want to work with.  When I was looking for a
graduate school I looked at articles in my area of interest, noted the
location of the authors, and contacted them in regards to working in their
laboratories.  I also found out where they graduated from and contacted
those labs for possible places to obtain my degree.  Many schools will not
accept a student until a professor accepts responsibility of the student. 
It could be that even though you have all the qualifications for being
accepted at a University you may not be accepted if there is no space for
you in a lab.  If you know of anyone already working in a lab in your area
of interest you may ask them for their recommendations.

Since you would like to attend a school in Texas I would try an Internet
search such as:

	university > Texas > genetics > engineering
	Texas Universities > genetics > graduate degrees
	genetics > Texas > graduate degrees


You may want to try the following sites.  These are just a few sites to get
you started.  There are many more schools in Texas you can try.  Good luck
on your search.
