In simple word, forensic science means the crime laboratory where evidence on the crime is subjected for analysis by forensic experts, normally doctors and medical technologist. From identifying fingerprints, specimen signatures (in case of forgery), urinalysis and blood test for drug users, ballistic of firearms, post mortem examination (to determine the cause/s of death),medico legal examination for rape victims and DNA test are only some of the many issues being studied and analyze by the crime lab forensic experts. They will prepare the results for presentation as evidence in a court of law where a case and that particular evidence is required. In many cases, forensic expert will testify in court proceedings to explain the process of obtaining such conclusion, which will eventually leads to a conviction or aquittal of a suspect. We have a limited space here to detail the above.

First of all, you would likely be getting a BS (bachelor of science), not a BA. It's possible to go into any bachelor's degree program you want, but the amount of time it will take you will depend on how many credits from your AA degree transfer to the 4 year school. Also, not many schools offer degrees specifically in forensic science or forensic anthropology. If you found a program then that's great. However, if not, then I would suggest perhaps doubling majoring in chemistry and anthropology or getting a minor in anthropology with a chemistry degree. This would would give you a better chance of getting a forensics job than just majoring in anthropology.

Holy Smokes! That is WAY too general of question... What part of forensics are you speaking of? Better yet, what are you trying to hide? To get a good answer, specifics are needed - sorry!
