Forensic Chemistry Concentration
This concentration is designed to meet the minimum requirements for a student to attend a graduate program in forensic science, or to apply for a position in the drugs/toxicology or ballistics/trace evidence division of a forensic science lab (although each program may have additional requirements). This concentration fulfills a growing need for students who desire to enter into the chemical and physical aspects of forensics, a career that utilizes a hearty combination of chemistry, biology, calculus, and physics.
Students must complete an admission packet to apply to their senior year and then, upon acceptance, complete the senior courses listed in the curriculum of study. Applicants must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.00 and an overall minimum GPA of 2.75 in science or related courses. Application packets for the senior year will be made available in August of their junior year. The application packet will consist of : application; essay; coursework completion; official transcripts and references. Notifications will be made to students in January. Upon completion of the four-year program, a B.S. degree is awarded.
