My Career!

I always enjoyed watching CSI and solving mysteries/crimes.

I consider myself a problem-solver and like to solve the unknown answers.

Do you know what my career is?

Forensic Science!!!

Forensic Basics

The rate for employees of forensic science is rapidly increasing and is expected to be at its highest in 2014.

Wage for forensic science is $30,000-$80,000 per year.

Cool fact, best piece of evidence a detective could find is a dental record!

Forensic Background

Do you believe scientist came up with this great career because its called “forensic science?”

Well, actually officers where the ones who came up with the career path by using their observations and common sense.

My Preferable College

I want to attend college that is near by home.

I want to stay near by because I want to visit mom for the holidays and come back to her warm tamales.

That’s why I choose to go to…

University of Colorado Colorado Springs

UCCS is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Its total enrollment is of 8,900 students. The cost to go to UCCS for a year is

nearly $18,000! * $17,888.50 to be exact.

UCCS Forensics’ Program

Do you believe 120 credit hours is too much to handle?

That is how many hours needed in order to earn a Bachelor’s degree at UCCS.

The credit hours might seem like a lot but it could be very beneficial.

It would give you more experience before going out to the real world situation.

This could set you up for further success in knowing how to deal with crime scenes and situations that you did not expect.

You could also take Psychosocial and Legal Aspects of Forensic Science and Health Care Science for further understanding and better credit.
