About
The forensic science option prepares you for entry-level positions in state and federal forensic science labs as well as for graduate and professional schools. Competitive internships at regional forensic labs are integrated into the curriculum, along with research and independent study. You must complete 45 hours of specified core courses with a combined minimum GPA of 3.0 before being eligible to declare the forensic major. It is assumed that you will enter the program ready to take MATH 161. To finish in four years, you must take an average load of more than 15 credits per quarter.
A partnership has been established with the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory Division. They provide internship opportunities for our students on a competitive basis. Guest lecturers are also provided throughout the course of study. For all internships with law enforcement agencies, you will be required to pass a thorough background check.
