There is no general requirement for a Master's degree, although if you are interested in employment at a specific laboratory, you should contact the director of the laboratory to determine what they require. A Master's degree in forensic science, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, medical technology, or a closely related field may substitute for experience and are useful for career advancement. Again, contact the specific laboratory to inquire if this is their policy.

The MSPM Program requires completion of 9 core 3-credit courses plus one 6-credit research project for graduation. For students who already have an existing master's degree, only 7 core courses are required, including PM 601- Project Management Fundamentals and PM 685- Case Study and Research. Currently, 10%+ of our students are studying MSPM as their 2nd or 3rd master's degree.

Forensic scientists are often involved in the search for and examination of physical evidence. This physical evidence is useful for establishing or excluding an association between a suspect of a crime and the scene of the crime and/or the victim(s) or between the victim(s) and the crime scene. The scientist will sometimes visit the scene to determine the sequence of events, any indicators as to who the perpetrator might be, and to join in the search for evidence.

General forensic information can be found in several locations in your local library. There are also many Internet sites that have information about forensic science. Reddy's Forensic Home Page at www.forensicpage.com is an organized site for specific links. Informational links for common disciplines and careers in forensic science can also be found there. A general search for forensic science books on sites such as Amazon.com will provide a long list of informational books.

Yes, the Diploma in Biotechnology could prepare you for a career in forensic science. You can pursue a degree programme in forensic science since this course covers molecular biology, plant and animal cells, biochemistry, analytical biochemistry, pathology, biology, chemistry and other relevant subjects.

No, Baylor is not canceling your degree. For all current students at Baylor (Freshmen ? Seniors), the BS degree in Forensic Science, as outlined in your catalog, is NOT going away. Please know that the University will continue to offer this degree. None of the requirements will change and you will be able to earn the specific degree for which you came to the university.

Jobs in forensic science can at times be somewhat difficult to obtain. If you have just graduated from college and cannot immediately find a job in forensic science, finding a laboratory job in one of the natural science fields (chemistry, biology, biochemistry, etc.) will give you valuable laboratory technique and instrumentation experience. A strong scientific job background will help make you a strong candidate when applying for forensic science jobs.

Demonstrate proficiency in a tool of research by passing CSC-600, Simulation, with a grade of B or better. Pass a comprehensive examination by passing CSC-694, Capstone Project, with a grade of B or better.

The main difference between the two degrees has to do with the level of specialization attained in your field. A master's degree provides less opportunity for specialization and little research training. Master's programs generally require the completion of 30 credits of coursework beyond the bachelor's degree and either a final, comprehensive exam or a written thesis (usually 50 to 100 pages in length).

This really depends on your ultimate career goal. If you want to become a university professor, qualified to teach undergraduates and graduate students, and do research and publish in your field of expertise, you must obtain the doctorate (Ph.D.). If your goal is to become, say, a social worker, a practicing speech pathologist, or a high school teacher, you should obtain a master's degree, which will prepare you to become licensed and/or certified in fields such as these.

The graduate program does not offer a "terminal" masters degree. Following successful completion of your course work and general examination, you may apply to the registrar's office to receive a masters degree en route to completion of your doctorate. The A.M. program is available to a small number of experienced musicians who are preparing or engaged in careers as performers and performance teachers and for whom a PhD is not appropriate.

The minimum acceptable training is a Bachelor's degree in forensic science, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, medical technology, or in a closely related field which must have included or been supplemented by twenty credit hours in chemistry. Ideally, your coursework should include the following: microscopy, statistics, and laboratory work.
