Why would you care about your degree having a specific name when you would be doing the same work regardless?

Are programs like these more selective or less selective? I want to say less selective because a nascent field obviously wants to cast a wider net to attract more people, but them being more selective makes just as much sense too.

I want to get into population genetics which is also a specific career that you can go into that is different from regular biology and genetics.

those kinds of degrees are the most dangerous to get, employers dont know your skillset and can probably hire someone who they know has the required skillset

A lot of these have really low graduation class numbers. UC Davis's Population Biology class had about 15 people in it. It makes me think being a minority might help a lot in that type of situation.

Read my post again. Whether the babe of the degree is population genetics or genetics or biology, you are still going to be studying/researching the same shit.

I hear there are a lot of jobs in it though. Does that mean someone should get a general degree yet try to get the specific job?

Typically a general degree + specialized thesis/ research is your best bet for a particular position.
