Find a school close-to-home

Delaware State University

Forensic Biology B.S.

If you want to get a real-deal bachelors in Forensic Biology -- and perhaps work in DNA profiling, blood spatter interpretation or crime scene investigation on the biology side, then take a look at the Delaware State in Dover. They offer a full-scale forensics degree B.S. in forensic biology. Unlike a lot of other programs that grant you a B.S. in biology with a concentration, Delaware dishes out forensics classes over four years specifically tailored to Forensic Biology. The course-load includes 9 courses in biology, 4 courses in criminal justice, 5 in chemistry and one each of psychology and statistics. Of course, you'll have to meet the general education requirements because this is a full degree.

After looking at the forensics classes, and you're not sure you want to commit to the full forensics degree curriculum, consider taking Forensic Science (23-225), a course that Delaware offers to prospective students interested in the field. It should give you a smaller dose of the forensic classes you'll see if you go in for the full forensics degree.

Among forensics programs and colleges for forensic science offering full forensic degrees, Delaware is on the forefront in offering a real B.S., as opposed to just a natural science degree with a concentration.
