What are the high school graduation requirements for a forensic scientist?

Answer 1

Becoming a Forensic ScientistYou will need at a minimum a Bachelors degree in a science such as chemistry, Biology, or physics. Your coursework should ideally include microscopy, statistics, and lab work. A masters of forensics would give you better opportunities in the laboratory. You must go out into the real world and not be afraid to see things that others might find scary.

Answer 2

To prepare for a career in forensic science, you should have had some courses in math, computers, Earth Sciences, biology, or chemistry. At a minimum, almost all jobs in this field require at least a bachelor's degree and depending on the employer or agency, may require graduate degrees. See the links below to find out what the what the many types and requirements are for forensic scientists.

Answer 3

From what I've heard, forensic scientists are usually expected to have at least a Masters degree, but I'm not completely sure about this - this is just what I have picked up whilst researching for university options - I'm hoping to train in forensic anthropology and possibly also genetics. I've also found that Dundee University in Scotland is apparently one of the best universities for forensics in the UK, and in the US the Western Carolina University and Wichita University both look okay. (All of these offer forensic science (in some form) and Bachelor degree courses). Try searching the internet for some other information too - the qualification you need depends on the job you want. Hope that was useful.

Answer 4

four GCSE grades A-C in English and either maths or science

Students who major in antropology at Bayor University, Waco, Texas can have a forensic science emphasis. The forensic specialist in Fort Worth, Texas has a chemical engineer's degree. So, science with a background in meticulus details and problem soving seem to be the keys.

Answer 5

What country are you in? Because I'm in England and I want to become a forensic scientist and all I have to do is:

- go to college and study a minimum of 2 sciences (preferably Biology and Chemistry) at A Level for 2 years

- then go to university and study forensic science, which will take 3 years if it is undergraduate, but if you want you can do postgraduate which will take an extra 2-4 years.

once you've done that you may be required to do a year long placement to gain more experience. And once you've done that you can start searching for a job :)

Answer 6

if when you say high school- you mean an American secondary school- the you would need at least 3.5 to be considered for a job as a forensic scientist- i my self am one- but from England- i got all a*s where as my friend who got all A's and one a* didn't get a place a the university to study forensics.

Answer 7

Forensic scientists come from a variety of educational backgrounds and fields to include, criminal justice, accounting, chemistry, psychology, physics, biology and more. Forensic science positions also typically require a bachelor's degree to work in the field. Knowledge and understanding of legal procedures also can be helpful. Chemical technician positions in research and development also often have a bachelor's degree, but most chemical process technicians have a 2-year degree instead, usually an associate degree in process technology. In some cases, a high school diploma is sufficient. These workers usually receive additional on-the-job training. Entry-level workers whose college training encompasses extensive hands-on experience with a variety of diagnostic laboratory equipment generally require less on-the-job training.

Whatever their degree, science technicians usually need hands-on training either in school or on the job. Most can get good career preparation through 2-year formal training programs that combine the teaching of scientific principles and theory with practical hands-on application in a laboratory setting with up-to-date equipment. Graduates of bachelor's degree programs in science who have considerable experience in laboratory-based courses, have completed internships, or have held summer jobs in laboratories also are well qualified for science technician positions and are preferred by some employers.
