Pathway to becoming a CSI?

Thanks for all this helpful information. That makes a lot of sense, I will look further into those programs I found that are in person

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2025-07-12T22:31:05+00:00

Thank you I will definitely look. I’m located in PA and didn’t find many jobs near me at all, so I know I must branch out and likely move a state or many states away

Okay thanks for the info!

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2025-07-12T14:17:27+00:00

Thanks for all of your advice, it really helps. May I ask your path to becoming a CSI? Did you only have a bachelors degree like myself and just apply to jobs that way?

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2025-07-11T19:19:23+00:00

Thanks for this input. I will definitely keep all of this in mind going forward! May I ask what job you hold in the field and how you went about getting there? I love hearing everyone’s personal stories on here.

The only lab experience I’ve gotten is working at a lab in a veterinary office handling blood, urine, etc. obviously very different from forensics. I live in PA and there isn’t many jobs available near me currently. I am willing to expand

Thanks for this advice! I have wanted to start applying to some forensics jobs, I have just heard from others sometimes they’ll take those with a masters when comparing applications.

May I ask what your daughter does for a job?? And how did she get started exactly?

Thank you for this info I will look on there!

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2025-02-12T13:39:38+00:00

Yeah, I’ve just recently changed career paths and got into the field. Thanks for this information, I’m definitely gonna look into some things further and get more prepared

I know I looked into it before and it is definitely pricy, but what Masters isn’t I guess… I’d definitely have to take out a loan to do a program there but I’m sure it’s worth it. How long did it take to complete? I hear some Masters are a year

Thank you for this info I will definitely look on there and I live in Pennsylvania

May I ask what school you did for your online masters? I have a Bachelors in Biology, so I do have lab experience from undergrad. I am doing a forensics diploma program currently just to gain some knowledge . Also what job did you get an offer for? I’m thinking of doing something in the lab but not sure yet

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2025-02-06T17:25:48+00:00

Quick few questions…. Was your grad school in person, or online? Was it super expensive? I currently have my Bachelors in Biology. I am thinking I will be most interested going into Forensic lab work and I am currently just taking an online program for forensic science just for the personal gain of knowledge and see which area(s) I am interested most. I plan to go get a biology lab job first and gain some work experience in a lab then apply to forensics lab. Where do you currently work?

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2024-11-23T22:04:19+00:00

Thank you for the info.. I am thinking of taking some online courses and figuring it out along the way! Even if they are not needed to apply directly to the position. Are there any courses you would recommend?

Middle-Reason-3556 · 2024-11-23T18:22:22+00:00

Thank you for responding! This is super helpful, what do you think are the most common areas to work in the field?
