Pre-Forensic Science Track: Additional
Criminal Justice Requirements
The criminal justice courses should be scheduled as needed
starting in the sophomore year.
The criminal justice courses are in addition to the courses listed in
the above four-year plan. Starting
with the sophomore year, students on the pre-forensic science track should have
a minimum of 17 credits per semester.
For example, in the sophomore fall semester, a student has room to
schedule a criminal justice course.
The Four Year Credit Total for the pre-forensic science track is 136
credits.
CRJ 100: Intro. to Criminal Justice
CRJ 211: Criminal Law and Procedures
CRJ 309: Theories of Crime and Crime Control
CRJ 336: Intro. to Forensic Science
CRJ 456: Forensic Science: Evidence Analysis
All chemistry majors will
take a comprehensive examination in their junior year at a time and place
designated by the department. A satisfactory performance in all areas of this
examination is a requirement for departmental recommendation and ACS
certification.
