The Minor in Forensic Science is intended for those students who have a science background and are interested in pursuing a career in Forensic Science. The forensics field is heavily based in the hard sciences so only students with a hard science background should consider doing this minor degree. Please note that some of the FORS courses have prerequisites so students may end up taking additional hours to fulfill the requirements of this degree. Depending on specific interests or desired career track, it is suggested that students consider a BS major in Biology, Chemistry, Anthropology or Psychology.
