Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science
Program Overview
Learn how to apply forensic science in the field of criminal justice. A BS in Forensic Science allows you to gain the skills needed for a career as a laboratory scientist, death investigator or law enforcement officer. A BS in Forensic Science is also the best preparation for graduate studies in Forensic Science.
Coursework includes foundational courses in criminal justice, chemistry, biology, physics, and a variety of elective courses in forensics. Faculty will work closely with you to help you get the most out of your studies, which include a wide variety of courses and internships.
To stand out in a highly competitive job market, you can choose to double major or minor in a physical science (such as Chemistry for crime labs or Biology for medical/legal death investigation) and/or go on to obtain graduate level training.
All of our courses are taught by dedicated faculty in an environment that prioritizes ethical inquiry for a more just society, grounded in Jesuit values. You’ll gain the skills to succeed while learning from dedicated and caring professors, in classes with a low student-to-faculty ratio.
