Is Forensic Science for ME???

Forensic Science is NOT what you see on the famous CSI television series. If you become a Forensic Scientist you will:

  • Accept and log in evidence
  • Decide how to analyze the evidence you receive
  • Perform analyses using careful techniques and scientific methods
  • Write reports detailing the results of your analyses
  • Offer testimony in court about some cases
