Hi, im only 13 but Im almost dead set on wanting to do forensics, particularly csi work. I was wondering if there is anything in high school or any specific courses i should take to best prepare myself for this career. Also, do you think a few specific colleges have a particularly outstanding forensic science program?

I was wondering….. Do Forensic Photographers carry a gun, on the crime scene, and/or everywhere?

I am going to school for criminal justice and forensics. What I would like to be able to do is work in a position relating to the field while I am in school. How should I begin that process and where should I look?

I’m confused. Will an online degree really get you anything? I think practical skills are pretty important. I’m pursing my bachelors in Sociology (with a focus in criminology on my transcript) and a minor in Forensics. I do not expect to be hired with this at all! This is very little work if you think about it. I’m going to do my Masters at the forensic institute, which is part of the university. It’s two years of hands on training and with THAT I expect to be hired.

Hi I Am 14 and have been looking into the career path of a Forensic Examiner for about 3 years and when i enter High School in August i will be in a program that teaches you the basics of anything having to do with Law, Justice, and Education and I was wondering if the extra 4 years in the high school criminology program would help at all??

Hello I’m interested in majoring in the field of Criminal Justice and I browsed for jobs within it because I wasn’t sure which jobs go with it. But then I found this job as Criminal Scene Investigator. Even though its under the Criminal Justice major it also said that I would need knowledge in chemistry, anatomy and criminal law. I am confused because I’m not sure if it means that i would need to major in those three fields or I would need to Major in Criminal Justice while taking classes that relate to chemistry, anatomy and criminal law.

I just graduated with a BA in Justice Administration and am wanting to get a MS in Forensic Science to become a forensic examiner. Is this possible since I have a BA and not a BS?

I watch a lot of shows that deal with CSI. However I’m about to get out of high school and have really no idea if CSI is something I want to go into. I have 1 year left and i need to know what high school courses i should be taking to look better for a college that deals with CSI. Any available information anyone has would be much appreciated.
