A strength of the forensic science integrated learning major is that it must be paired with a base major that aligns with your interests and career goals. 例如, if you’re interested in working in a forensic science laboratory, 你还应该主修生物或化学. If you’re interested in criminal justice or national security, consider psychology or anthropology. A professional advisor and faculty mentor will help with major selection early in your four-year plan.
In addition to the coursework required for their second major, forensic science students take two broad-based courses in forensic science, 一门统计学课程, one course that connects their two majors and three advanced electives in forensic science and/or related areas. 还需要一个顶点课程.
