Bachelor of Science in Forensic Chemistry
So you’ve figured it out. Deduced it. You’ve found your inner Sherlock, your inner Abby, and you’re compelled to discover the truth…with science.
As a chemist, you can answer questions like: is this water safe to drink? Will these things blow up if I mix them together? With an additional concentration in forensic chemistry, you can answer questions like: Was this person poisoned? Was this fire started intentionally? And most importantly—can we reconstruct the elements of the crime? At Loyola University New Orleans, we’ll give you both the specialized chemical knowledge and hands-on lab experience you need for your career.
