Forensic Science
The forensic science degree program provides a scientific understanding of the applications of the discipline to the judicial system. The program maintains cutting-edge awareness by exposing majors to current technological advances, laboratory instruments and equipment. Graduates find positions as medical examiners, pathologists, law enforcement officers and anthropologists.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Forensic Science is a four-year program with two concentrations: Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Biology.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Forensic Science is a four-year program with two concentrations: Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Biology. The development of a Forensic Science degree program is interdisciplinary and relies strongly on the incorporation of courses in the College of Science and Technology and the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. Forensic Science spans a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines including chemistry, biology, odontology, pathology, criminalistics, engineering, psychiatry, toxicology, computer science and behavioral sciences, to mention a few. This program is designed to produce well-informed graduates with the option to further their scientific interests in graduate school as well as pursue a career in law enforcement.
The major tracks are summarized below:
Forensic Biology
Prepare students for positions in local, state, federal and private forensic science laboratories as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysts or applicable biological science. This concentration will also prepare students for graduate work in Forensic Science or Biology disciplines.
Forensic Chemistry
Prepares students for careers in forensic science laboratories, focusing on chemical analysis techniques used to investigate criminal cases. Students gain hands-on experience with methods for identifying and analyzing chemical substances such as drugs, explosives, and other materials crucial to criminal investigations. This concentration also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in Forensic Science, Chemistry, or related fields.
Forensic Toxicology (Coming Soon)
Equips students with expertise in detecting and interpreting toxic substances, drugs, and poisons in biological samples. This concentration prepares graduates for roles in forensic and clinical laboratories, where they analyze bodily fluids and tissues to support legal and medical investigations. Additionally, students are well-prepared for further studies in Toxicology, Pharmacology, or Forensic Science disciplines.
