Forensic Science is a Graduate School program.
Some things to know
Forensic scientists locate, examine and prepare traces of physical evidence for use in criminal and civil legal cases. They use all forms of analysis to secure evidence, drawing on the principles of biology, chemistry, analytical science and maths. So consider majoring in these subjects.
Also on the Department of Labor website they show this information:
Many employers prefer applicants who have at least 2 years of specialized training or an associate’s degree.
Projected job growth varies among occupational specialties; for example, forensic science technicians will grow much faster than average, while chemical technicians will grow more slowly than average.
Job opportunities are expected to be best for graduates of applied science technology programs.

This is definetely a growing field, as there are many cases that have not been solved and not enough qualified technicians to do the work. But don't expect that you will go right to the field first. Most FS have to spend many years in the lab before they get to the field. Good luck with your decision.

There are a few universities that offer undergraduate degrees in forensic science or criminalistics but I don't think there are that many of them. The reason is because someone who works in forensics normally has a degree in science such as chemistry, biology, or physics. Crime scene investigation is not a major but it is what the forensic scientists or criminalists do. Definitely do not study criminal justice or criminology (theory behind crime and prevention) because those barely have any kind of science courses. They are mainly for people who want to work in law enforcement (police, corrections, probation). Forensic science is, as the name says, science.

I don't believe that CSI is an actual major. For what i think it is you want to do, a criminal justice major would be a good place to start. There are different types of forensice courses you could take (even forensic accounting). Some colleges/universities offer masters and PhDs in forensic psychology.

contained in the U. S., there are universities which provide majors IN "forensic technology" and as area of that significant you get each and each of the mandatory sciences and classes. some contained in the U. S. are Ferris State college in Michigan and Trine college in Indiana. perhaps you are able to search for on-line for "forensic technology" ranges (quite than biology, physics, or chemistry ranges, forensic technology degree is what you want) and attend a school with that easily significant, or, properly, come to the u . s . because we've it! :) reliable luck.

The University of New Haven in New haven, Connecticut is excellent. Dr. Henry Lee teaches there! I'm planning on enrolling myself!
