Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Forensic Science

Centenary University’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Forensic Science program provides real-world training in applying science to criminal investigations. This program teaches you how evidence is analyzed to identify illegal activity in many situations — from personal and property crimes to crimes against the environment.

The Forensic Science curriculum closely follows our Biology program during the first two years with a strong mix of courses in the liberal arts and natural sciences. You will then move into classes that dig deep into the fields of criminal justice and forensics with topics such as criminal investigation, biochemistry and analytical chemistry.

Centenary University has a 150-year tradition of providing high-quality liberal arts and professional studies while helping students gain the skills and connections they need to prosper in today’s world.
