The Forensic Science minor introduces the student to the field of forensic science, providing critical thinking skills and hands-on learning experiences analyzing physical, biological and chemical evidence. The minor includes science courses in the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics to establish a strong foundation for processing and analyzing biological and chemical samples. The minor culminates in an applications and literature research-based course that ties together foundational content from the sciences, criminal justice, and forensic science.
A total of 24 credits is required for a minor in Forensic Science. The minor is open to students in any major, though students will need to complete all prerequisite courses that are required.
