Forensic Science
The forensic science program at Bay Path is interdisciplinary, linking together courses in the fields of biology, chemistry, pyhsics, criminal justice, psychology and legal studies. Lectures and labs are taught in small classroom settings that engage your scientific curiosity, and promote a mentorship relationship between faculty and students that is so crucial in the development of a qualified and ethical forensic scientist. This approach to teaching ensures that students will receive individual attention and gain facility in the use of the state of- the-art equipment and data-acquisition and analysis tools so vital for success in today’s technological scientific arena.
Extensive web-based tutorials created by faculty are available to assist students in mastering concepts, including digitized laboratory dissections, trace evidence, and osteological specimens used in laboratory sessions. Because credentials as a forensic scientist will be directly tied to such skills, knowledge, and experience, the curriculum is structured to prepare students for a variety of career options, including employment in public and private forensic laboratories, police investigation, medical examiner/coroner offices, as well as municipal, state, and federal agencies.
