This program combines natural science and criminal justice, and requires that its practitioners possess substantial technical expertise and knowledge, critical analytic and thinking abilities, superior communications skills and an ethical awareness of the role of the scientist in the legal process. Forensic scientists interact with law enforcement to collect, examine and evaluate criminal evidence applying knowledge and technology from anthropology, biology and chemistry. This evidence may include hair, blood, and other bodily fluids; tool and tire marks; residue from gunshots; and textile fibers from clothing and other materials. They work in morgues, laboratories, court settings, and police departments. They are employed by local, state, and federal government agencies; public and private universities; medical examiner offices; forensic and medical laboratories; hospitals; law firms; and police departments. They can also be self-employed as consultants to courts, law enforcement agencies, university-based research laboratories, law firms, and medical examiner offices.
