    "description": "<p>The forensic science program at UCF provides you with an in-depth understanding of applying scientific evidence to the law. With two tracks available &mdash; biochemistry and chemistry &mdash; you'll have the opportunity to focus on a specific area of interest that aligns with your aspirations, whether you enter into the workforce upon graduation or decide to continue your education.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Coursework in forensic sciences covers a variety of areas, including instruments used, scientific writing, how to conduct and evaluate scientific investigations, as well as the role you'll play in the judiciary system. Plus, gain hands-on experience in our state-of-the-art laboratory that's equipped with polarized light microscopes, stereo microscopes and comparison microscopes. This gives you the chance to learn about the functionality of these microscopes and practice using them by performing microscopic analysis of simulated forensic samples.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Upon graduation, you'll be prepared to compete for forensic positions at local or national government agencies, labs, hospitals, among many others.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/forensic-science-bs/biochemistry/\"><strong>Biochemistry Track</strong></a><br>\r\nThis track has a strong biochemistry/DNA focus to serve the needs of supervisory personnel in DNA sections of crime laboratories.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/forensic-science-bs/chemistry/\"><strong>Chemistry Track</strong></a><br>\r\nCoursework in this track emphasizes the application of modern chromatographic, spectroscopic and micro-analytical techniques to problems in forensic science.</p>",
