Forensic Science Partnerships
The joint degree programs in Forensic Science allow students with a strong interest and aptitude for science to begin their studies in Science for Forensics at Borough of Manhattan Community College, Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College, Kingsborough Community College, or Queensborough Community College, and continue in the Forensic Science Baccalaureate program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. To be eligible for automatic admission to the Forensic Science program at John Jay, students must graduate from the Science for Forensics program at a participating community college, with 2.5 or higher GPA in math and science coursework.
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.
