Dr. A. M. Albert, coordinator.
The College of Arts and Sciences offers an interdisciplinary minor in forensic science. The minor affords students the opportunity to gain foundation-level exposure to the various sciences from which forensic applications are derived. Students will acquire broad-based knowledge and skills in a combination of areas such as biology, chemistry, anthropology, criminology and sociology. The minor is designed to prepare students for future graduate education and/or on the job training in specialized fields within forensic science; examples include but are not limited to search and recovery of human remains, human identification, crime scene investigation, evidence collection and/or laboratory analyses.

Requirements for a Minor in Forensic Science:
A minor in forensic science requires 21 hours, distributed as one 3-hour core course, and 18 hours of electives including at least one course in each of two groups (Group 1: (A) Biology or (B) Chemistry, and Group 2: Social-Behavioral Sciences). Group 1: Option (A) Biology, or Option (B) Chemistry:
Group 2: Social and Behavioral Sciences:
Additional Information:
Some 400-level courses focusing on forensic science, such as directed independent study, seminars, or honors work, may substitute for courses in Group 2 if approved by the coordinator. Students must have at least a “C” (2.00) average in all courses counted for the minor. Many courses listed above have prerequisites and or co-requisites, which do not count for the minor but may satisfy University Studies requirements or other major requirements.
