Course Requirements for this Minor (see also the catalog description)

NOTE:  Many of the courses for the Forensic Science Minor have prerequisites that do not count toward the minor but may satisfy credits for your major.  You may not enroll in any of the courses for the minor requiring prerequisites unless you have taken the prerequisite course(s) as specified (see examples).  Lecture courses that have co-requisite lab courses count as "one" course from a group/option for the minor. 

If you have taken a Directed Individual Study (DIS) course, a seminar such as a "495" course, or another course not listed below that relates to forensic science, please visit with me (albertm@[uncw.edu] to discuss a possible substitution.
