理学院提供法医学的两个本科学位：法生物学和法化学。要申报法学专业，学生必须具有至少2.5的总体GPA和至少2.5的数学/科学GPA。这两个学位都非常严格，并且至少包含86个学期的科学和数学时间。许多法医科学家在犯罪实验室工作。例如，法医生物学家通常专门从事DNA分析，或继续在医学院学习以担任医学检查员，法医化学家分析在犯罪现场发现的非生物痕迹证据，以便识别未知材料并将样品与已知物质匹配。
The College of Science offers two undergraduate degrees in forensic science: Forensic Biology and Forensic Chemistry. Many forensic scientists work in crime laboratories. For example, a forensic biologist usually specializes in DNA analysis or continues to medical school to pursue a career as a medical examiner, a forensic chemist analyzes non-biological trace evidence found at crime scenes in order to identify unknown materials and match samples to known substances.Play a key role in the criminal justice system through the application of science by becoming a forensic scientist. In this program, students gain a strong, multidisciplinary foundation in chemistry, biology, physics and geology. Visiting judges, lawyers and law enforcement personnel from both the U.S. and Mexico offer valuable, real-world education.<br><br><br>Career Opportunities<br><br>Many forensic scientists work in crime laboratories, and the Paso del Norte region houses law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal level, providing ample job opportunities along the U.S.-Mexico border and beyond.
