Degrees and Requirements
Criminalistics Minor
The Department of Justice, Law, and Security, in coordination with the departments of Biology and Chemistry, offers a Minor in Criminalistics. This minor will be offered to those who have demonstrated proficiency in the forensic application of the sciences of Biology and Chemistry. This forensic application entails a basic understanding and demonstrated knowledge of selected subject matter areas of the Criminal Justice System.
Students must have a declared major in one of Biology, Chemistry, or Criminal Justice & Criminology. Students not in one of those majors with an interest in criminal justice should consider the Criminal Justice minor.
There are two tracks for the minor. One for Biology and Chemistry majors (16 credits), and a second for Criminal Justice & Criminology majors (15 credits).
