Graduates of UNT’s forensic science program will be in even more demand now that it is Texas’ only such program accredited by the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Accreditation provides students and graduates with opportunities for internships, jobs and scholarships, drawing the region’s top students interested in pursuing careers in forensic science. The certificate program, which began in 2005, is open to undergraduate students majoring in biology, chemistry or biochemistry who also take forensic courses including criminal investigation, biomedical criminalistics and forensic microscopy.
