Read Why Learn forensic science:

Forensic science teaches keen attention to details and analyses of materials. It requires good organizational, filing, and reporting skills. Most forensic scientists are used as witnesses in crime litigations and are called upon to defend their findings. Forensic scientists are therefore meticulous in their methods and processes when processing pieces of evidences. They must also exude a certain level of confidence and credibility to withstand cross-examinations.

Forensics, as it may be referred to more popularly, involves the use of different techniques that other laboratory technicians have mastered such as DNA profiling from samples such as blood, hair, saliva, and fingerprints. It also requires application of knowledge in physics for calculating speed, time, weight, and other factors to determine causes and the exact period or time that something occurred.

Interest in forensic science has grown in recent years, perhaps driven by the popularity of hit TV shows such as CSI, or Crime Scene Investigation, and Alias. To address this growing demand, most universities offer courses on forensic science topics that may be taken as electives to supplement any of the pure science courses such as biology, chemistry, and physics.

Law and medical students are also exploring their interests in forensic science, perhaps to aid them better when they become professionals. And even professionals such as journalists and litigation lawyers enroll in forensic science courses to enrich their work experiences. But to be very good in the field of forensics, one must be well versed in the different fields of science and must have experience using scientific and mathematical procedures to arrive at conclusions and analyses.
