A minor in Forensic Science requires the completion of 18 credit hours from the following list of courses, of which at least six credits must be 4000-level courses. This minor is most suitably paired with Biology, Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry, Computing Science, Nursing, Psychology, or Criminal Justice. However, the minor is not limited to these majors. Students who intend to pursue employment as a forensic scientist should major in science. Non-science majors  (e.g., criminal justice) can benefit from this minor if they intend to pursue employment as an investigator.
