Best colleges in Michigan for forensic science?

I'm thinking about studying forensic science and want to know which schools in Michigan are best for this major. Any recommendations?

4 months ago

For studying forensic science in Michigan, a couple of schools stand out for their programs:

1. Michigan State University - Its School of Criminal Justice offers a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Science. Students in this program learn through laboratory-based coursework, adding a hands-on component to their study.

2. Grand Valley State University - GVSU's Forensic Science program, part of their Biomedical Sciences department, combines in-depth scientific study with the practical application of science in crime scene investigations.

3. Wayne State University - WSU offers a Bachelor in Mortuary Science, which could be of interest if you are looking at forensic science in the context of identifying deceased individuals and understanding the causes of death.

Remember, when choosing a college major, it's important to consider not only the reputation of the program but also the overall fit of the school for you in terms of size, location, extracurricular opportunities, etc. I would recommend visiting these campuses if you can and speaking with current students or faculty in the program to get a sense of what it's like. Also, consider internships or shadowing experiences – real-world exposure to the forensic science field can add another dimension to your studies and help inform your major choice.
