Forensic Science Certificate
The Forensic Science Certificate prepares students with majors in biochemistry, biology, or chemistry to work in forensic science laboratories, and students with majors in anthropology, biochemistry or biology to work in medical examiner’s offices and other medico-legal forensic science workplaces.
The Forensic Science Certificate is also available as a post-baccalaureate program for students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in a natural science.

Required Courses (13-14 courses/44-48 credits)
Note: Students majoring in criminal justice may take their internship through CJFS 5660: Capstone and Internship in Criminal Justice. 12-16 approved elective credits taken from the following three categories:
a. Legal Studies/Law (4 credits)
b. Criminal Justice (4 credits)
c. Topical courses (4-8 credits)
Students must take at least two topical courses, for a minimum of four topical credits. Notes:
1. Postbaccalaureate students: a maximum of two courses, with grades of C or better, from prior college work can apply toward the certificate.
2. Relevant courses from other colleges will be considered through petition to the director of the program.
3. No course in which the grade received is less than a C may be used to meet certificate requirements. If a Hamline course is repeated to meet this Forensic Sciences certificate grade requirement, the repeated course credit will be changed to zero and the resulting grade will be excluded in the grade point average computation. The grade point average of all courses taken in the certificate must be 2.7 or higher and the cumulative GPA of all Hamline courses taken must be 3.0 or higher.
4. Violation of the Hamline University Student Honor Code may result in suspension from the Forensic Sciences Certificate Program. |
