Bachelor’s in Forensic Science

The Forensic Science certification program is available to Biology, Biochemistry or Chemistry majors. It is designed for students who intend to pursue a career in a crime laboratory or federal agency, and prepares students for medical school if they want to become a medical examiner. The strong curriculum follows the recommendations of the National Institute of Justice and primes them for the American Board of Criminalistics certification test. The university has the same cutting-edge equipment used in top crime labs across the nation. Uses range from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for arson investigations to high-performance liquid chromatography for drug and trace analysis from a crime scene. The facilities include a new criminalistics lab specializing in fingerprint, ballistic and laser analysis.
