Science is based more on breadth than on the depth of coverage found in most science programs This Pr ogram is gear ed to students who wish to obtain a science degr ee but who do not necessarily intend to become working scientists The wor d Inter disciplinary in the pr ogram name r efers to the concept of an open education while developing a br oad based maturity in their pr ogr ession The pr ogram featur es several choices among the sciences language and cultural developments and aspects of science communication This is the most fexible science degr ee pr ogram at Laur entian and students tailor it to suit their particular car eer goals The 3year pr ogram is available by distance education Key Featur es The pr ogram is ideal for students with pr ofessional goals that r equir e an

and practice of for ensic science A degr ee in for ensic science may be best thought of as a degr ee in basic science with a for ensic theme Students generally focus on aspects of chemical or biological science and ar e intr oduced to the application of these principles to for ensic casework The cor e science curriculum in Laur entian s For ensic Science pr ograms is complemented by compr
