forensics science majors?

Question

for those who are majored in forensic science i have a question...ok im in a community college and my major now is biology science and i dont believe that they offer forensic in a community college..so since they dont offer that do i just continue taking my science courses then when i transfer to a four yr ill be able to choose forensic...im not sure how that works. i just know i need alot of science...if you happen to find a website about courses for forensics that would be great

Answer 1

yes, keep up with your sciences! With some forensic science degrees, a biology minor is permitted/recommended. Don't neglect your chemistry courses, please! Some kinesiology might be required, but on the whole, DNA, fingerprinting, anthropology, logic/reasoning, etc. courses are needed (don't worry about these, just take these in lieu of another elective; summer sessions will help with getting these out of the way). Get on the web, and search for universities that offer forensic science degrees. Michigan has an awesome program, and so do Sam Houston State University and UTSA (University of Texas at San Antonio, in Texas. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

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.
