I have a bachelor's in biotechnology and a master's in microbiology .I worked for almost 2 yrs ,then got married, took a break cos i couldnt get a work visa sponsor. now I m applying to phd programs in biotech related fields but i m also looking at master's in educational leadership/science education and some management degrees. Is this ill advised?

HI I am thinking of applying to this program . I have no background in education. I have a B tech in Industrial Biotechnology, and a MAster's in Microbiology. I have some teachign experience from beign an RA while I was in grad school. I have almost 2 years of work experience in the biotech industry. But I want to get involved in education, curricula and policy etc. Could you tell me if my profile suits this program, may be evaluate my SOP? Any info wbt the program is also appreciated

Hi I finished my B tech in Industrial Biotechnology, then did my Master's in microbiology . I worked on biofuels research. I graduated in 2010, worked for over a year for pretty big names, lost my job once. Then I was unemployed cos I couldnt find a visa sponsor. Now I m getting married and going back on H4. In the mean time I ve been thinking of going back to grad school.. doing a PhD.I ve been very drawn to education related programs more than hard core lab research.. I want to work for places like UNESCO.. I even looked at a science communication program in UC Santa Cruz, but they require subject GRE which I didnt write. I am looking at programs only in the bay area. I retook my GRE recently.I got 310/340 total. I know its not good enough for Berkeley. But I am applying at Berkeley anyway. But Berkeley has a rule that you can only apply to one program per term . SO 1. should I risk it and apply to PhD microbiology or should I apply to SESAME program? does anyone know any more info abt sesame program? I am tired of trying to contact them. they wont reply. Is the program primarily for physical science related programs or do they tailor make it acc to ur background?
