DNA Forensics Option
BS in Biology/Chemistry
This interdisciplinary program is shared with the Chemistry Department.
Students take biology and chemistry courses that lead to a Bachelor of Science
degree in Biology/Chemistry. Studies can lead to work in Crime Labs, both
state and national level, as well as ecologically-based labs working on animal
or plant populations. It is important to note that
this program does not lead to a Biochemistry degree. For more information
on the DNA Forensics Option see
Dr. Ted
Nuttall's website.
