Note: Students who plan to transfer to a bachelor’s program should seek recommendations for their CCBC coursework from Department and transfer coordinators of the institutions to which they intend to transfer. The courses listed above meet the transfer requirements of the University of Baltimore and Mountain State University (West Virginia); however, students generally are required to meet other requirements such as an overall B average, a B or better in all Science courses, a clean criminal record, no history of drug use, and ability to pass a polygraph test and background check.

Transfer Pattern Description:
This 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.
