Where to study forensic science in Minnesota?

I'm fascinated by forensic science and I'm looking into potential colleges in Minnesota. Can anyone share insights on which schools offer the best programs for this major? I'd love to hear about program quality and facilities.

If you're considering studying forensic science in Minnesota, you'll have a few options. One of them is Hamline University in Saint Paul, known for its Forensic Science major and minor. Hamline's program combines training in lab techniques with a solid science background, making it great for students interested in scientific applications of forensic science. The curriculum includes courses in biochemistry, organic chemistry, genetics, and criminalistics among others.

Another university you might consider is the University of Minnesota Duluth. While they don't have a specific Forensic Science program, they do offer a Chemistry degree with a forensics emphasis which equips students with skills needed in crime laboratories. They also offer a Criminology degree within the Sociology department for a broader field of study.

Lastly, Metropolitan State University in St. Paul offers a major in Criminal Justice and Forensic Science. This degree combines the study of criminal justice with scientific technical training required in crime labs.

All these schools have modern laboratories and facilities. Depending on what area of forensics you're interested in, you might find one program better fitting than the others. It's also crucial to consider the cost, location, class sizes and other aspects of the college experience too. If possible, you might want to visit the campuses and maybe meet some faculty members to get a feel for the environment before making a decision.
