Raschael’s Answer

Most organizations require a Bachelor's degree in the hard sciences i.e. chemistry or biology. Some universities offer specific forensic science programs. It is helpful to search job listings for credit requirements as many jobs will require a specific number of credits from chemistry and biology courses. Fepac-edu.org/accredited-universities and aafs.org are good resources.

treasa’s Answer

Aspiring forensic scientists are required to complete a comprehensive education plan, due to the highly technical nature of the field. Even though the entry level requirements vary, most of the employers would require at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college. A four year bachelor’s degree in forensic science can be done with a concentration in chemistry or biology.
If you want to have better job prospects and more career advancement, you may want to opt for a two year long master’s degree in forensic science or a five to seven year long doctorate degree in forensic science.
