Forensic Psychology is the application of the science and profession of psychology to questions and issues relating to law and the legal system. To put forensic science in simply layman's terms: it is the application of scientific procedures in conjunction with the law. Forensic science is the umbrella term for a collection of scientific procedures that can be employed when it comes to providing evidence that a crime has been committed and also provides ways and means of proving how a crime has been committed. Forensic science majors will study both science and criminal justice. In this major, you will learn how to reconstruct crimes and analyze physical evidence such as blood, DNA, fingerprints, and other evidence and how to use it in a court of law. You will also learn how to use many laboratory tools to collect and test data.
