Overview

Program Description At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Prescott Campus, the Bachelor of Science in Forensic Biology degree program combines the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and law to give students the skills and background needed by professionals in forensic science laboratories, law enforcement, and related fields. Students who have interests in analyzing evidence found at a crime scene, the justice system, medicine, and working in the outdoors should explore this growing, rewarding, and promising career field. Students will get the opportunity to work in four brand new laboratories with professional equipment and experts in the field, which will give graduates the knowledge and technical skills needed to confront issues in forensics that affect evidence acceptance and validation, as well as ethical dilemmas. Core curriculum and program requirements in Forensic Biology are designed to give students fundamental science knowledge and demonstrate the ways in which biology, chemistry, and law integrate with aspects of their future careers. Undergraduate research with faculty in specialized subject areas is a valuable way to increase knowledge through hands-on experience. Travel to the annual national AAFS conference with faculty is highly encouraged and a great opportunity to network by meeting people in the field, which can lead to internship and job offers. Study abroad opportunities include visiting internationally recognized forensics labs and tours of infamous crime scenes. Get access to state-of-the-art labs and fieldwork opportunities locally from the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office. ERAU students have the chance to intern with that office’s Volunteers In Protection (VIP) program, assisting in criminal investigations, working with the forensics unit, cold case unit, and much more.
