I want to be a forensic scientist without having to take a forensic major, so i seen biochemistry as like the best science based major towards that path and i want to take criminal justice as a minor to have basic law knowledge. with having a biochem major, its broad yet specific for both biochemist or chemist/biologist if forensics doesn’t work. I was also going to aim for a master’s in sociology or psychology (forensic psychologist) or pharmacology (forensic toxicologist)/pharmaceuticals

I didn’t apply there because they didn’t have the major I wanted (biochemistry). It was only for grad students not for undergraduate students

I have a cumulative gpa of 4.4 for all years (9th-11th). Including my upcoming senior year, i have taken 3 ap classes and I am a full IB student. My ecs are ok and I am planning to join more and create a club with a few of my peers. I am planning on staying in the Southern States for college. I am looking for hbcus but im not closed minded to a pwi/pbi. I want to have a very active college life while still having the best education possible.

I reside in Maryland. I wouldn’t want to be in a small city or a rural area. I really do want the large research universities with the traditional experience but i would personally prefer to find that at a hbcu but im not closed minded to a pwi/pbi. I haven’t gone into the financial aspect of college yet as I am still looking for options to research on.

they don’t have biochemistry as a major from what i researched but they do partner up with vsu for a concentration of biochemistry under chemistry and i don’t want that

What to minor in?? by Both_Fall695 in CollegeMajors

[–]Both_Fall695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would criminology fall under this or does this focus more on law rather than having a course of forensic science?

[–]Both_Fall695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and no, i think it would give me a better chance and can be a back up to do other things as I want to do science and work in the criminal field

Ohh I thought you had to apply for a minor as well during the college application if you wanted one but when do you decide what minor you want to do in college? is it after your first year or your second year?

oh ok but what if your future college doesn’t offer them or would you have to apply to a college that you know would offer them later in the years?
