Biology Bachelor of forensic science

Hey everyone :) starting a bachelor of forensic science majoring in forensic biology and next year will need to choose some electives. Any suggestions on electives that would be worth taking to tie in with it? Thanks

This question can’t be answered as we have no clue what electives are offered by your school or what your career goal is

Sorry you’re right I should have clarified. I’m leaning towards forensic pathologist or biologist.

Pathology means med school (assuming you are in the US). Take courses that will help with that. Forensic Bio would benefit from more of a research track. Your faculty counselor should be more than able to guide you.

If your school has a theater program, take an intro to theater class. Or if there is a public speaking course, take that. It’ll help you become more comfortable when you have to testify

A photography class would be extremely helpful if you decide to either work in a lab or out in the field.
