Want to become a Genetic Engineer

How can I become Genetic Engineer?? What are the basic eligibility criteria???

The Genetic Engineers are usually research scientists who work with animal, human, or plant genes. To become a genetic engineer, after completing high school, you should attend an accredited four year institution. Students should earn undergraduate degrees in a science-related field. Biology, chemistry, zoology, botany, or general science are all relevant options and will prepare the student for advanced study. Following are some good colleges where you can apply:
