BS Forensic Science is a four-year degree program that provides both a solid foundation of professional courses and a comprehensive liberal arts background. The goal of this degree is to provide science and criminal justice students with a new educational path and the opportunity to qualify for entry-level forensic science jobs in crime labs, police departments, and medical professions. Students will acquire skills in forensic science in the legal system, crime scene processing, and evidence documentation.

Forensic science also includes highly specialized sub-fields such as forensic medicine, forensic anthropology, drug analysis, toxicology, entomology, environmental forensics, biological evidence, forensic DNA analysis, and others, which are frequently available as standalone degree programs.
