| Forensic Science Program Description |
| The new degree is in response to changing workforce requirements for forensic science and to expand the range of STEM careers that graduates may pursue, including those <br>that contribute to Maryland’s burgeoning biohealth industries. <br>The proposed new program is distinctive in the degree of interdisciplinarity woven into the curriculum. Students will have the opportunity to complete foundation courses from <br>departments across three academic divisions, including the Natural and Applied Sciences, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Electives will be selected from seven Natural and Applied Science departments. Loyola provides a distinctive and collaborative approach to introduce students to forensic science. In fact, there are no Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science titled degrees offered in Maryland. |
