Q&A: What is better to do at uni, forensic science or chemistry?
Question by Reburckka!: What is better to do at uni, forensic science or chemistry?
Im doing my a levels in chemistry at the moment and want to do forensic science when in older.
I have seen on many websites that you need a degree in chemistry to go on to do forensics.
Ive looked at university’s on the internet and there are chemistry degrees there but there are also forensic science courses.
Which do you think is better to do forensics science?
Thanks.

From a purely pratical point of view, there are more jobs for chemists than there are for forensic scientists, so I’d say go for chemistry as the chances of you getting a job directly related to your degree are much higher. Also you can always go back and specialise in forensics at a later date, by doing a post-graduate course.

STEM Career, Forensic Chemistry
My (Future) Life Career video project was funded by the eTech Ohio Commission, and produced by WOUB Public Media at Ohio University, Athens. This website consists of six career modules for students in middle school and high school, and one teacher self-study video support module with links to career investigation resources and assessment strategies Each My (Future) Life Career video examines a career in a STEM field and includes an interview with a professional in the given career and what education pathways lead to that career. After viewing the My (Future) Life career videos students will have a better concept of what they need to do while in high school to prepare themselves for a STEM career.

I’m going to be a senior in September and need help. I want to go to college for forensic but i don’t understand the difference between forensic science, forensic biology and forensic chemistry. Can anyone help me?
Also, which one should i major in. I loved going to chemistry everyday, i had an A average in that class. I kind of hated biology, I had an B average. I’m taking forensic science at my high school in the fall.

Forensic Science is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. This may be in relation to a crime or to a civil action. But besides its relevance to the underlying legal system, more generally forensics encompasses the accepted scholarly or scientific methodology and norms under which the facts regarding an event, or an artifact, or some other physical item (such as a corpse, or cadaver, for example) are to the broader notion of authentication whereby an interest outside of a legal form exists in determining whether an object is in fact what it purports to be, or is alleged as being. ( THE ALL AROUND SCIENCE OF FORENSICS)
Forensic Chemistry is the application of chemistry to law enforcement or the failure of products or processes. Many different analytical methods may be used to reveal what chemical changes occurred during an incident, and so help reconstruct the sequence of events. ( Chemical make-up Study)
Forensic Biology is the application of biology to law enforcement.
It includes the subdisciplines of Forensic anthropology, Forensic botany, Forensic entomology, Forensic odontology and various DNA or protein based techniques.

Does forensic science absolutely require chemistry?
Question by Ping Pong: Does forensic science absolutely require chemistry?
I’d like to take a forensic science class at my high school (its just a occupation credit so im guessing its not that hard core of a science class) but i havent taken a chemistry class yet. Its a req for the class, but so far all my classes have been pretty lax about requirements.
Has anyone taken it in high school? Is an indepth knowledge of chemistry required for the class? I’d just like to know if chemistry is dead set required or if its just “recommended” because i’d really like to take it.

Answer by Eric Calkins
I’m not going to lie, chemistry is not the easiest class in the world. I’m taking the class right now and I have been trying not to completely fail. If you can, I would try to take both classes. If not possible, I would definitely go for Chemistry. Be prepared for two pages of notes daily though. The labs are worth it, like turning a penny gold-ish or making a battery using a dialysis bag and two pieces of metal. I would take it. If you do, good luck.

Q&A: Forensic Anthropology vs. Forensic Pathology vs. Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology?
Question by aewilcox14: Forensic Anthropology vs. Forensic Pathology vs. Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology?
Job outlook, salary, top schools for Forensic anthropology, pathology, and chemistry and toxicology? Personal experience?
Currently I’m looking at Mercyhurst, West Virginia University, and University of Tennessee. I’m more interested in interpreting the evidence, not collecting it. Also I’m considering West Point, but I doubt I will be able to see a career in forensics there.

Often times schools don’t have exactly forensic science in such a specific category. Usually what forensic scientists do is get the traditional science major (Chemistry, biology, etc). After they get their degree they apply to crime labs. I’m sure that some schools have specific forensic science degrees, but I have a feeling that they are few and usually not in a specific area.
The exception I see is in forensic anthropology. Some schools have Forensic Anthropology but they are few. You’d most likely need to look for schools in New York or California. Forensic Anthropology is a tough career to get into and most likely you’d need a PhD to get a full time job. If the school doesn’t have the exact degree than most Forensic Anthropologists will get a PhD in Physical Anthropologist and a Masters in general Forensic Science.
