yes, keep up with your sciences! With some forensic science degrees, a biology minor is permitted/recommended. Don't neglect your chemistry courses, please! Some kinesiology might be required, but on the whole, DNA, fingerprinting, anthropology, logic/reasoning, etc. courses are needed (don't worry about these, just take these in lieu of another elective; summer sessions will help with getting these out of the way). Get on the web, and search for universities that offer forensic science degrees. Michigan has an awesome program, and so do Sam Houston State University and UTSA (University of Texas at San Antonio, in Texas.    Hope this helps!

if you want to be a forensic scientist (aka criminalist) that works in a lab analyzing evidence, then you need to have a 4 year degree in a natural or physical science.  that would be chemistry, biology, etc.  you must have a science degree and take certain courses like quantitative analysis to be hired by any crime laboratory.\n\nif you want to be a police detective, then you must first be a police officer and work your way up to the rank of detective.\n\nthere are jobs that give you access to crime scenes without requiring a science degree.  an example would be a latent fingerprint analyst, where you would go to the crime scene to dust for prints, lift them and then take them back to the lab to analyze under the stereoscope.  also being a crime scene photographer doesn't require a degree in science.\n\nhope this helps.  good luck!

A background in criminal justice and a science field would be useful.  You have to understand the laws of evidence collection as well as how to interpret the evidence.\n\nThe science background should include biology, chemistry (including organic and biochemistry), entomology, bacteriology, genetics, and physics.\n\nLots of colleges are now offering forensics classes (some are even in the anthropology department), so it would be wise to talk to advisors at a university.  \n\nDon't be drawn into this field because you watch CSI or any of its spinoffs.  Try watching The New Detectives or The Forensic Files instead.  The shows on  Discovery and Court TV tend to be a lot more realistic in application.

look into majoring in forensic anthropology (dead people) or forensic archeology (crime scene) search for Forensic Science in your favorite search engine.  I think you're interested in what they do on CSI, right?

Looking on the web, I would suggest that you look towards doing a College/University course in Forensic Science, as this appears to be the general requirement of the job.

First if your opinon of what they do comes from TV and the CSI show, don't,  in real life they don't carry guns, they don't go out in the field,  they are lab workers looking at evidence sent into them by either field techs or police officers.\n\nBut you will need to go to college and major in a science field, and most will have masters.  Some colleges have a forensic labs and courses of study.\n\nThere are very few crime labs though the nation, most police departments either have very small ones, or use the state crime lab.\n\nSo for now, do college prep and look more into it as you get into 12 grade and what colleges you can go to

Most dentists do major in some type of science for their bachelor's degree, however, you can major in whatever you like.  For example, I have known dentists that were psychology majors.

I think Kings College houses all of those majors.  You may want to double check.  Good luck

Hey, that's cool!! My best friend's nephew just finished his first year of college to be a CSI. The show is what inspired him to become one. She told me the other day that he has 6 or 7 more years to go. \n\nI did a search on the internet for websites about forensic science. Here's the link to my search results. http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ytff1-&p=forensic%20science&ei=UTF-8\n\nStick to your dream and good luck in the future!!
