After earning a bachelor's degree, you can pursue a higher degree to study your chosen subject even more. A master's degree shows employers that you are focused, dedicated and hard-working.

What is an MSc in Forensic Science? Forensics is any method used to determine what happened before, during and after a crime. You can focus on one area of forensics, such as biology or cyber security, and this focus will dictate the sort of criminal activity you can detect. Forensics can also include study in psychology for understanding the criminal mind.

Risk analysis is a major skill you can learn in a forensics program, which you can apply in your own life or use within your job. Other skills include attention to detail and critical thinking which are useful in every facet of life. These skills help you solve problems and think about the many consequences of a single act.

The cost of a master's degree depends on how long you take to complete your degree and which university you choose. Costs include books, fees and registration, as well as lodging and moving if you choose a school far away.

While most jobs with a forensic component are focused on tracking down a criminal, there are other options. Forensics can be used to detect risky situations where a crime may occur, which is useful in creating cybersecurity that prevents digital attacks before they happen. Forensic analysis of handwriting can be used in marital counseling and to help someone choose a career path. Some popular television shows also hire forensics experts to craft believable scenes and situations.

There are multiple schools offering forensic science degrees. You can focus your search by deciding if you want to go to a public or private school and whether you are willing to move.

The Masters of Science in Forensic Science is a 36 credit hour program of study designed to offer students both a global perspective and an opportunity for in-depth study at the graduate level in forensic science. The degree provides students with a fundamental understanding of the concepts and principles involved in the application of scientific techniques to forensic investigations and to the criminal justice system. Recent advances in basic scientific research have had a rapid and dramatic impact on these fields and it is only through an understanding of these critical scientific concepts that those in the legal system may be effective in criminal investigations and judicial proceedings. A graduate M.S. degree in Forensic Science offers a strong complement for people interested in a focus on criminal justice as related to major areas of study such as anthropology, biology, chemistry, physics, geology, psychology, engineering, journalism, education, medicine, and law. -
