Forensic Science is the application of scientific techniques to criminal investigations, and is used to analyse and provide evidence to investigators and attorneys. Students in Forensic Science majors are involved in several primary areas of study:
• Theory of forensic science
• Application of forensic science
• Scientific ethics
• Laboratory skills
Forensic Science – both in education and in the real world – is a hands-on discipline that relies heavily on analytical ability. Obtaining an undergraduate degree in Forensic Science will prepare you for a career in a number of government or private laboratories, or for an advanced degree in the physical sciences or allied healthcare.
