This major gives a systematic introduction to the principles and practice of forensic chemistry. Forensic chemistry is the science underlying many forensic investigations from the analysis of toxic material to the detection and identification of illicit drug use. Forensic chemistry also forms the basis of a large portion of the techniques used at the crime scene. This major is designed to complement a science-based degree, but it may also be taken by students who are studying a different discipline or profession as all pre-requisites are included.
