Transfer Pattern Description:
 
This Arts and Sciences degree pattern is designed to prepare students to transfer to colleges and universities that offer a four-year degree with a major in Forensic Science. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. The following courses are typically required to transfer to the University of Baltimore Forensic Science Program. Students planning to transfer to other colleges should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor at the transfer institution for information about specific requirements.

Criminal Justice:
Students interested in the fields of law enforcement, criminalistics, juvenile services, private security, parole and probation, corrections and law should consider the “Criminal Justice program” listed in the “Programs of Study” sections of this catalog. The CCBC Criminal Justice program does not prepare a student for a career in the forensic sciences.
