What are the requirements for becoming a forensic science technician?
What will be an ideal response?
Many people falsely believe that they need a criminal justice degree to work as a forensic scientist. This is incorrect. To become qualified for this position, one must earn a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in a “hard” science such as biology or chemistry. Some universities now offer forensic science degrees, but it is important to ensure that this degree is “hard” science in nature. After earning the degree, one should expect to receive additional on-the-job training while employed.
