Forensic Science Partnerships
The Science for Forensics (SFF) Associate in Science (A.S.) degree programs are part of a joint program between CUNY community colleges and John Jay College of Criminal Justice for students with a strong interest in science, law, and public service. Graduates of the Science for Forensics A.S. program will continue their studies at John Jay College where they will earn a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science. To enter the Forensic Science program at John Jay, QCC graduates must have a 2.5 or better GPA in foundation coursework. Creation of this 2 + 2 partnership in forensic science opens up a new opportunity for New York City area students to receive an excellent education leading to exciting career paths. This joint degree program will provide future forensic scientists with the necessary scientific foundation and technical training in general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, data collection and analysis, oral and written communication skills, teamwork, and hands-on experience for successful, productive and rewarding careers in local, regional and national forensic science and chemistry-based laboratories, major research centers, university facilities, government testing labs, and public utilities.
