The forensic science minor requires 18 credits of interdisciplinary coursework. The program allows students to choose what path in forensic science they wish to pursue: behavioral science or natural science. Students minoring in forensic science are allowed to take any of the listed elective courses. However, it is recommended that students majoring in a natural science (biology, chemistry, etc.) would select elective courses in the same discipline since some of the upper-division courses would have pre-requisites that would need to be satisfied prior to the upper-division elective.
