[quote=Anonymous]Forensic Science is a combination of chemistry, biology, entomology, lab science, and crime scene investigation. The majority of people do not do the slick crime scene stuff.

GMU and VCU both have programs. Watch out for the “murder house” on the GMU campus!

People working in forensic science are part of a team that has one goal: delivering expert testimony at criminal trials. Because the testimony - and evidence gathering and handling - must be beyond reproach, the people involved must lead squeaky clean lives. I was looking at the VCU website a few years ago and they had a passage that said, basically, don’t choose this program if you plan to do drugs.

The BLS predicts that forensic science jobs will grow faster than average but at the same time, there are a lot of people entering the field due in part to the popularity of the TV shows.

I personally think that forensic science is a really interesting broad based discipline. I wonder if the programs would provide enough chemistry and biology to permit one to teach those in schools.[/quote]
