Combining these two programs makes for an extra-long bachelor's degree, but careful planning makes it possible for the student who wishes to maximize career options in the most competitive areas of these fields and is willing to adopt a lengthy bachelor's degree plan. Three paths are possible for combining these subjects in one Madonna program: The concentrated dual-track plan: Declare and complete a Bachelor's degree in Forensic Science with either a Certificate of Achievement or a minor in Criminal Justice. These plans will require a minimum 139 s.h. of course work, assuming the most efficient planning. The paced, two-stage plans:         EITHER Declare and complete a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with two minors, Biology and Chemistry. Upon graduation, re-matriculate for a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate of Achievement in Forensic Science.         OR Declare and complete a Bachelor's degree in Forensic Science. Upon graduation, re-matriculate for a Certificate of Achievement in Criminal Justice. For all plans: When selecting your courses to meet the General Education goals, you will maximize the efficiency of your plan if you choose courses from the Forensic Science major for Goals 4.A. (Mathematics), 4.C. (Biological Science), and 4.D. (Physical Science); select CJ 1020 and SOC 1010 for Goal 5.B. (Social and Societal Skills) and CJ 2350 for Goal 6.B. (National Citizenship); and consider a Goal 2 course from the Forensic Science Post-Bachelor Certificate of Achievement.
