Forensic Science Minor


Banner Code:  FRSC

The minor in forensic science addresses the growing national and regional interest in forensics by introducing students to the technical, psychological, and legal aspects of the field. The minor provides an attractive option for students with majors in the natural sciences, engineering, or computer science, and the curriculum structure makes it particularly suitable for students with majors in biology and chemistry.

At least 8 credits must be applied only to this minor and may not be used to fulfill requirements of the student’s major, concentration, or another minor or undergraduate certificate. Students must complete at least 6 credits in their minor at Mason and achieve a minimum GPA of 2.00 in courses applied to the minor. For policies governing all minors, see the Academic Policies  section of this catalog.

The minor in forensic science consists of 20 credits of course work.

This program of study is offered by the Forensic Science Program in the College of Science .
